i have irritant-induced asthma and if there’s a lit candle in the room with me I breathe significantly worse and have to cough a lot
scented is very noxious, because they have chemicals in it to volatilize the scents. usually aromatic carbons(benzene structure) or alcohols.
If you give me a candle as a present, you are not my friend anymore.
PSA: Don’t give scented candles to your friends who keep invertebrate pets. There is some evidence that aerosolized scents can cause dyskinetic syndrome, which is a terrible way to go.
Rather a niche warning, but good looking out.
because the volatine chemicals have aromatic compounds, or alcohols in it.
Most of the candle is designed very specifically so that it will not, in fact, catch fire and burn.
Not with that

They’re a terrible gift. I have a zillion candles they I keep around and can’t quite get around to throwing away
You could burn them… In a big pile…
The soot.
If I don’t like them it’s probably because it’s scented and makes my allergies go nuts 😟
Set them on fire outside? Safety.
There aren’t many things you CAN’T do that with.
Almost like it’s their intended purpose.
