I like fire, and I like dripping wax, and I have really nice sterling candelabras that look quite spiffy on my big table bedecked with a half dozen long black taper candles.
But I just like the 'ambiance' too much. There are always different levels of risk adverseness: if I was considering candles a pollution health hazard I should also stop riding motorcycles, vaping various things, and stop eating like I do...
