Scented candles bad for your lungs?!

Question: I have many vanilla candles all around my house and sometimes i feel short of breath. I have a diagnosed anxiety condition, so it could just be that. Either way, are scented candles bad for your respiratory system?

I seriously doubt it. I've never heard of that being a problem. I'm always burning scented candles and everone in my family breath fine. Pets too :D

yes
and they dirty the walls, the edges of your carpets and most importanlty - the inside of your lungs
not to mention the fire hazard of an open flame

Only the ones with lead in the wick, but I don't think those are sold much anymore. You could be allergic to the fragrances. Blow them out and air out your house and see if you feel better.
