Doesn't look like there's much to worry about if it's for occasional use.

Taken from the BBC article:

"Dr Noemi Eiser, medical director at the British Lung Foundation, added: "We would like to reassure people that occasional use of paraffin candles should not pose any risk to their lung health."
But she added people should still take "sensible precautions" such as ventilating rooms when burning candles."

"Dr Joanna Owens, from Cancer Research UK, said: "There is no direct evidence that everyday use of candles can affect our risk of developing cancer."

(From the BBC News article you posted adobo1!)

The reason people burn these candles is that they smell nice BTW.

Yes!! They are lovely and so worth the money IMO! Even my husband likes these haha :stuck_out_tongue:

Depends. Some smell good, others smell horrendous.

I was sceptical when my wife bought them but they last an age and give off much more scent than other candles
