I suppose if you burnt it a lot it could have the same effects as cigarette smoke, but the result of it causing lung cancer is slim to nothing.Rutanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20396927.post-83037460614509762002011-06-26T08:54:59.921+05:302011-06-26T08:54:59.921+05:30Incense burning may pose some health concerns.

They are of considerable concern because these particles are both upper respiratory and pulmonary system irritants. This means that they can inflame mucous membranes, and cause asthmatic attacks in sensitive individuals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20396927.post-30998723454205087312011-01-29T17:42:17.519+05:302011-01-29T17:42:17.519+05:30It isn't going to cause any immediate health p...It isn't going to cause any immediate health problems, but it isn't healthy.<br />Kind of like cigarettes, after a while, they can deteriorate your health.<br />And Marijuana is a safer alternative, albeit Marijuana is illegal and I am not suggesting any illicit drug use.Pavitranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20396927.post-23429299337430866042011-01-06T09:54:09.333+05:302011-01-06T09:54:09.333+05:30Never go with your nose above an incense stick.

Just let the smoke dissolve itself quietly through the space, and when it is a good incense you'll notice soon how the atmosphere changes through it.Take care for good ventilation while you are using incense. Of course it is fun so now and then that the whole room is full of smoke, but limit these occasions to the very special ones and take care that there is always a little window open. By the way, Oxygen is really good smelling! When you are allergic for essential oils I recommend you not to use incense. Most incense from the shops is a blend of wood, charcoal and perfume oils and especially the quality and the composition of the oil have a connection with health. With biological oils you might be able to withstand those better. The incense sticks that I sell on this site only contain natural substances, are biological in that respect, but for the same reason produce slightly more creosote. Stick on a charcoal base have that less. When you are liable to have asthma I recommend you to limit your enjoyment of incense to a minimum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20396927.post-25169083552323977292011-01-06T09:50:16.280+05:302011-01-06T09:50:16.280+05:30It is, it causes the same damage as smoking.

As for the smoke, I'd imagine that it's not the greatest for your lungs and eyes...probably better to burn it and leave the room, then return when it's done burning.
