Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation?

Yes, because although it can cause irritation, it's not known to cause cancer. It's probably fine to be around without a mask once in a while

it’s not know to cause cancer

I have to laugh at the irony of your comment since this thread is about things we don’t yet know are bad for us.

Exactly, the same could be said about asbestos and cigarettes back in the day until the manufacturers couldn't hide the truth anymore.

Lol true. But it has been studied enough that I believe it, plus fiberglass wasn't invented to replace asbestos, it was already in use
