alt Hacker News> But have you thought about how you’re contributing to air pollution inside of where you live by using seemingly innocuous products like scented, non-combustible candles?
What is a non-combustible candle? Searching for "flame-free candle" just gives results for fake LED ones. The rest of the article talks about "scented wax melts" are they the same?

Probably, those wick-only stuff that people put one end in an oil, and let it evaporate though the body.

Yeah, I stopped going to houses that ran those plug-in diffusers.
The rule is: don't put it into your lungs or onto your skin if you wouldn't put it into your mouth.
Those people are just paying people to poison them, however slowly.

I believe this is a strange way to refer to wickless candles, which are used with candle warmers.
