A survey of risk factors for lung cancer, also conducted in Taiwan, noted an inverse association between incense burning and adenocarcinoma of the lung, though the finding was not deemed significant. [60]

The English word frankincense derives from the Old French expression franc encens, meaning 'high-quality incense'. [3] [1] The adjective franc in Old French meant 'noble, true', in this case perhaps 'pure'; although franc' is ultimately derived from the tribal name of the Franks, it is not being used with reference to them in the word francincense.

Nell'incenso a flusso inverso il fumo non sale verso l'alto, ma si muove verso il basso, passando da un foro al centro del cono. I coni a flusso inverso vanno posizionati in uno speciale porta-incenso, che spinge il fumo verso il basso. Alcuni modelli sono davvero elaborati, e guidano il fumo attraverso circuiti psichedelici, o fanno in modo che appaia come un ruscello che scorre tra le rocce. A livello simbolico, bruciarlo è un atto evocativo. Dare fuoco a qualcosa vuol dire rinnovamento e purificazione. Prendere l’abitudine di accenderlo aiuta a creare equilibrio.

Religious use of incense is prevalent in many cultures and may have roots in the practical and aesthetic uses, considering that many of these religions have little else in common. [ citation needed] One common motif is incense as a form of sacrificial offering to a deity. Such use was common in Judaic worship [54] and remains in use for example in the Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican churches, Taoist and Buddhist Chinese jìngxiāng ( 敬香, 'offer incense [to ancestors/gods]'), etc. Different cultures have associated rising sweet-smelling smoke with prayer - communication directed towards a deity on high.

Although several studies have not shown a link between incense and lung cancer, many other types of cancer have been directly linked to burning incense. [ specify] A study published in 2008 in the medical journal Cancer found that incense use is associated with a statistically significant higher risk of cancers of the upper respiratory tract, with the exception of nasopharyngeal cancer. Those who used incense heavily also were 80% more likely to develop squamous-cell carcinomas. The link between incense use and increased cancer risk held when the researchers weighed other factors, including cigarette smoking, diet and drinking habits. The research team noted that "This association is consistent with a large number of studies identifying carcinogens in incense smoke, and given the widespread and sometimes involuntary exposure to smoke from burning incense, these findings carry significant public health implications."
