My phrasing was perhaps too strong. I learned this from here https://dynomight.net/air/
This is a great read.
Here is a previous HN discussion on this:

There are some disagreements but I find the argument that air quality is greatly underappreciated as a health risk convincing. And that candles cause bad air quality.
The article talks a lot about healthspan which I think is a great measure and idea. Your referenced article talks about at-risk people and that they should avoid candles. It also states that candles should be burned in well ventilated spaces, which I believe most people don't do as they don't consider it.
A healthy persons healthspan is negatively affected by candles and such. They just have more health to spare.
The article talks about cooking as well and they are likely talking about cooking with gas which is very unhealthy. It should be illegal to sell indoor gas stoves for cooking in my opinion.
