Al-Marsad Newspaper: A consultant in chest diseases, Saleh Al-Damas, revealed that incense smoke may be more harmful than cigarette smoke.
During an interview with the “Yahla” program broadcast on the Gulf Rotana channel, he said: “There is some information that indicates that the pollutants present in the burning of incense are higher than the percentage found in the combustion of tobacco.
He continued, “There is no study yet that proves a link between these pollutants and lung cancer, but it is not excluded that future research will reach a relationship between these pollutants or the particles that are emitted from the combustion process in the long term over a period of years or decades that are related to some tumors.”
