Soy candles come from a vegetable, are non-toxic, do not produce soot, are 100% biodegradable, burn 50% longer, and burn at a lower temperature than paraffin.  . . . paraffin candles give off petroleum soot and toxic aromatic hydrocarbons that we and our children inhale.  Burning paraffin candles have been indentified as causing more damage than inhaling second-hand smoke.  Those innocent looking, highly scented paraffin candles are poisoning you and your children.  And as for using paraffin candles in aromatherapy - how can you call inhaling toxic waste good therapy?
