smell of smoke

How come when you burn candles if the same room as people are smoking it stops the place stinking of smoke?

[Loosehead]

It doesn't, candles stink pretty bad in there own right as well.

well my mum smokes and always has candles burning and her house doesnt smell of smoke

mycats, I've always been told that it gets rid of the smoke, not the smell of smoke. Not sure how it works on either counts, but it does seem to get rid of the smoke

I know of some older people that have matches in their loos to strike after youve been for a.. erm sit down..Suppose its a similar priciple to a candle with the same effect. Or KABOOM??

Matches in the toilet ... you burn away the access methane as well as the smell of sulphur and phosphate being more smelly than that of methane and other bowel smells.
Though a cig is more smelly than that of any candle.

One of life mysteries, like plastic collars on new shirts.. or women!
