I worked as a cashier for years in my teens and twenties though, so it’s probably already in my blood.
this was like 20 years ago, still makes me shudder after i learned about the BPA stuff
I'm fairly sure it doesn't make much of an health impact considering the hot smoke you pull into your lung, but when I was kid and we made pipes out of cans in "emergencies" we'd use the outside of the can as where you put anything with fire, you don't have to turn it inside out to be able to smoke out of it.
This is what I pictured, but now I'm curious how you'd use the inside of the can.
"In the 2010s public health agencies in the EU,[81][82][83] US,[84][85] Canada,[86] Australia[87] and Japan as well as the WHO[12] all reviewed the health risks of BPA, and found normal exposure to be below the level currently associated with risk."
If it has some health effects, they've been incredibly hard to actually pin down..
You just can't polymerize plastics without a plasticizer. It's just not allowed by chemistry. No free lunch.
If you want something that's not going to leach huge amounts of plasticizers onto your fingers, use an inkjet or a laser toner printer or a laser marking machine.
They don't really make those for receipts, though, because fingers tend to be wet and powdered toner is expensive.
