  Also your body doesn’t do a good job of breaking it down either. Id imagine that in your lungs would suck.

  I have a piece of graphite in my leg from 7th grade still. I’m 33.

  The theme is to pretend recently-learned information was available half a century ago, and also to ignorantly inflate its importance. It turns out exposure to graphite dust in large concentrations can cause respiratory problems, but the amount of graphite emitted into the air by pencil use is insignificant, even in zero gravity.
