Hello lovely people
Does anyone know if scented candles are ok to use with stage 4 lung cancer? (recently diagnosed but have so many clogging up space)
Thanks for reading
Hi Jojodagooner I certainly haven’t been told that I can’t use scented candies. I think the only thing would be if you are allergic to the scent ?
Hi Chellesimo
Thank you, I have so many (I will give away some) but some are a nice scent. I wont have them on long tho.
Thank you for taking time out to respond.
I had a similar odor issue and the only thing that cut through it fast was the spray I grabbed from nothingbutscents.com/.../sea-glass-smoke-odor-exterminator-air-freshener-spray . I like that it comes in a small travel size too, so I keep one in my car. The scent is pretty mellow and doesn’t feel heavy, but it still clears the air really well.
I’m very sensitive to any scent it can make me cough, but I find the plug in air fresheners the worst! If I go into any house that has a plug in I am coughing like crazy! Hate it.
