The only thing I can think of it breathing in the plastic liners most cans have, but that should be fine in less-than-industrial amounts. People are talking about aluminum poisoning, but that little flame shouldn't be hot enough to boil the metal so as long as nobody drinks the molten aluminum it should be fine.
Then again I don't know anything please consult an expert before starting a maoist backyard aluminum smelter.
all of the comments are about how this has got to be super unsafe

Cooking vessels with plastic residue in them probably isn't great
I don't think that cast aluminum can be easily anodized, so cooking anything acidic is going to leech aluminum into your food
Minute amounts only. Though you better avoid food that's too acidic, it'll get a taste.
Huh I had no idea that antacid tablets contained aluminum
Isn't that the case with most cookware?
I mean the stuff we're learning about microplastics only recently suggests that there's a lot of untold danger with this.
