has candles burning it regularly, outside of annual rituals like Petrov Day
That is what I meant, yes.
unless you confidently know that they keep the windows open during & after cooking
It’s pretty obvious when particulate levels are as high as what indoor candles produce. Anyway, normal people don’t “keep the windows open” when they cook, they use a range hood fan.
Burning a candle indoor once or twice a year is just not that many micromorts
OK, but are the candles actually providing value at all? If you want to develop social ties or whatever you could just, say, have a LAN party instead of something highly-scripted with cult-y vibes? Petrov day...yes, there are things that could go wrong with the world, and some people don’t consider that enough, but on the other hand some people already consider it too much. Sure, the guy himself deserves some amount of honor, but I don’t think he’d have been impressed by that.
