Candle smoke is reputed to be more toxic than cigarette smoke. The parrifin candle is made up of 7-10 different chemicals (incl benzine) and yet people don't know if the smoke is toxic? If people do know why do they insist on lighting up a toxic candle when there are natural alternatives like Soy?

For it is because of money, money and more
money. Businessmen who manufactures things
made from chemicals would never consider or
thought about the health hazards that people
might get from the fumes of their evaporated
ingredients. I have a book , " CANCER: Why We
are still Dying to Know the Truth" by Phillip Day
He exposed so many names of chemicals mixed
with shampoos, toothpastes, lotions (Sodium Lauryl
Sulfate, Propylene Glycol, Diethanolamine) are
just a few chemicals which are harmful to the
body because in reality, these ingredients are
used as humectant, solvent and degreasants.

The Soy ones are more expensive!
How about those plastic containers used in
Microwaves.. they are toxic too.. flouro carbons! How about floride toothpaste Floride Toothpaste may be good for teeth and bones but it's toxic to the skin! Neuclear Electricity is
toxic too. Our computers are toxic too.. they emit some toxic radiation energy into the air.. so do microwave ovens! You can't worry about every toxic item if you did you'd worry yourself sick. Even crayons kids play with are toxic unless they get the ones that are called toxic free but that is a lie.. They still have a little toxicity! Labelling should be done but companies fear loss of sales if they did that!

Because the parafin wax generally doesn't smoke a lot and not enough for it to be toxic to your system. It is considerably different than smoking a cigarette.

Well, clearly, if I sold a product that was dangerous but still wanted to make a profit, I would not advertise the dangers.

if you had a product that was harmful to the public, would you willingly tell them? the tobacco industry is mandated to tell people, the candle industry isnt.
