Yes, everyone knows that scented candles and pot are both unhealthy. Here is what you breathe in and it sticks to your food and furniture: Chemicals Released by Scented Candles Paraffin Wax: A common base, it's a petroleum byproduct that releases VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) like benzene, toluene, and formaldehyde when burned, some of which are carcinogens. Synthetic Fragrances: Often contain phthalates, used as solvents, which can disrupt hormones and worsen allergies. Dyes & Additives: Can release toxic fumes, with some dyes containing benzene-based compounds linked to cancer. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, and others are released, acting as irritants and air pollutants, with potential links to leukemia, blood disorders, and cancer. Ultrafine Particles: Soot and particles that deeply penetrate the lungs, increasing indoor pollution. |

| When someone gives me scented candles, I always think they are trying to do me in. |

How many tokes is daily pot smoking?
Three daily inhalations versus nonstop Walmart candle burning in a small apartment... the candles might be worse many variables though |

Car exhaust is what damages your lungs while driving. No measurable amount of “smoke” is entering your lungs. Wouldn’t that be obvious? |

I always go for unscented where possible. One I bought this year (couldn't find unscented, needed large pillar) came with a warning to burn only with ventilation. I figured it's kind of its own Prop 65 warning. I am always amazed by people who drive around with those scented air fresheners in their cars or plug them into walls too. |

| Pot smoking, obviously. When you burn a candle it’s not right by your face - you’re not inhaling it deliberately like smoking. |
