The talc in baby powder is something you do NOT want to inhale in large amounts. Not only has it been associated with cancer, it could interfere with breathing if it built up enough in your lungs.

Although baby powder is nontoxic, you can die if you inhale so much that the air can't get into your lungs. Have fun.

Sort of. A group of studies came out last year that definitively found that repeated exposure to baby powder causes cancer. A lot of stores don't even carry it anymore.

Why don't you sniff a line of baby powder with a rolled up dollar bill and report back to me on that?

Definitely, if you don't cough it out.
