What are the dangers of accidentally smoking metal shavings out of a pipe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: What metal shavings were in the pipe? It is possible that certain metals are more toxic than others, so it relevant to find what you smoked if possible. Some metals are quite toxic. You should take the pipe and yourself to a local poison control center to find out what it was you inhaled and get possible therapy.
