Burning agarbattis daily can release smoke, fine particulate matter, and chemicals that may affect indoor air quality over time. Experts say prolonged exposure in poorly ventilated spaces may irritate the lungs, eyes, and airways, especially in children, elderly individuals, and people with respiratory conditions like Asthma.
While agarbatti smoke is not identical to cigarette smoke, some studies suggest that frequent indoor exposure may still contribute to breathing discomfort and long-term respiratory irritation. Proper ventilation, limited exposure, and choosing low-smoke products may help reduce risks. People with allergies or lung conditions should be especially cautious with indoor smoke exposure.
