Possibly, but a lot of them are made of some sort of spun ceramic. Which
is the same stuff as fiberglass even if you can't build a boat out of it.

Anyway they still don't decompose in a week like Loco said. I don't
believe the claim that it takes seven years, but at least a couple of
months seems likely.

..."Don't smoke brand X, they have fiberglass in the

die of some horrible lung desease!"; right, like lung cancer is not a
'horrible' lung
desease. Sheese.

C'mon everybody knows it's genetics that determines whether you get cancer.
