is the smoke from a burning incense same as second hand smoke from cigarette?

Answer 1

All smoke contains chemicals which are harmful to our respiratory systems.

Answer 2

Miss T, don't really know, but there's a lot of Catholics that do that incense thing? Actually Ms. T. that whole thing about "second hand" smoke ain't that credible? Maybe the second hand stuff is bad, but if your really into stats and math, the numbers aren't there? You should have a right to complain about somebody blowing smoke in your face? My point is, this second hand smoke thing doesn't have the empiracle data to support it? Your kind of being "fibbed" to?
