Incense sticks release smoke when they smoulder, and this smoke contains products of combustion. People with increased sensitivity of the airways, an allergy to smoke or to certain plant components should use them with caution, in a well-ventilated room, or refrain from use altogether.

During pregnancy, breastfeeding, and in the case of chronic respiratory conditions, it is recommended to consult a specialist before regular use.

Near small children and animals it is better not to use incense sticks: smoke and intense odours can irritate their airways, and a smouldering stick presents a physical hazard. If you want to scent a children's room, it is better to choose a different format, for example a diffuser with essential oils without an open flame.

In any case, the room should be aired during and after use, smoke should not be allowed to build up, and several sticks should not be lit at the same time in a small space.
