Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

We answer your frequently asked questions about incense sticks.

Q1: Will burning incense set off a fire alarm?

A1: If the smoke from incense comes into direct contact with a fire alarm, it may set off the alarm. We recommend burning incense away from the fire alarm or using a non-smoke-detecting fire alarm. Also, when burning incense, be sure to ventilate the room and take care not to let the smoke build up.

Q2: Is incense smoke bad for your health?

A2: Incense smoke may contain trace amounts of harmful substances. Therefore, burning incense for long periods of time without ventilation may have adverse effects on your health. When burning incense, be sure to ventilate the area and be careful not to inhale the smoke. In particular, if you have a respiratory condition, you should refrain from using incense or consult a doctor.
