They’re both crap for your lungs.

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

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.

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

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.
