5. Using scented candles
If you think that there’s no way scented candles can cause cancer, think again. They might relax you, but they can also damage your health. Because they contain a wide range of quite dangerous chemicals such as toluene and benzene, using scented candles regularly can maximize your cancer risk.
Ruhullah Massoudi, a chemistry professor at South Carolina State University, says that a person who lights scented candles every single day for years in a row is at higher risk of cancer due to the pollutants he/she inhales.
6. Burning incense
According to a recent study, the smoke that comes from burning incense can increase your risk of cancer, too. The study in which 60,000 cancer-free individuals participated concluded that incense’s long-term use can lead to a greater risk of squamous cell carcinoma in the respiratory tract.
Don’t make burning incense a daily habit! It could do more harm than good.
