From what I understand, thermal paper is one of the worst sources of BPA. It isn’t regulated because it’s not consumed or touching anything you consume usually, but it would be better to consume it than absorb it through the skin because at least the liver processes shit we consume, while shit we absorb can go straight to the bloodstream.
This is on top of being generally the shittiest form of printing by most measures, as the other comments go into. I’d prefer dot matrix or inkjet over thermal paper.
