newp, just gonna add more soot to the formula.  popping a claritin (sp?) might 
help on the irritation, but replace the vent system, or at a bare minimum look 
into the filter in it and get a new one, or wash the one in there if it's 
plastic.  

the theory (ok conjecture for those of you following the wall banger thread) 
on this is that the candle flame is going to consume and burn irritants 
spouting them out in a less noxious form.  while this works for foul smells in 
the loo a bit, tar and gunk in the air i don't expect would be broken down 
much finer, and lord knows what you get when you burn cig smoke, the stuff is 
chemically nasty enough to begin with.  --why i stick to cigars and a pipe ;)
