The even thicker clouds of incense we Easterners use don't seem to have much ill effect on the longevity of our monks and bishops, who breath lots more of the sweet smelling incense than laymen or even priest, deacons or those of us in minor orders.
Of course, maybe it's the parafin candles the Latins use. . .we make a point of using beeswax.
