The lead inside the pencil is made from Graphite which is a natural form of carbon. The heavy metal Lead has never been used in pencils since its invention. If lead have been used instead of graphite the users of pencils may not be alive because lead and its compounds are very toxic.

Because pencil "lead" is not lead. Pencils haven't used lead cores since Roman times. However, lead poisoning was still possible up until the mid 20th century as the painted wooden casing often contain high concentrations of lead. Confusion about the source of the poisoning may have led (sic) people to think the core was actually made of lead, however the term "lead" does not refer to the carbon element itself, it's just a general term for a pencil's core. "Put some graphite in your pencil" just doesn't have the same ring to it as "put some lead in your pencil".
