Time to break out the candles. They are a source of heat and of light.

It'd be cheaper to burn my house down and rebuild it than heat it the normal way this winter.

Paraffin vapors are carcinogenic.

They most certainly are not lol. Unless it is not well-refined, the vapors in paraffin wax contain only nominal amounts of benzene/toluene. You’ll inhale more benzene while pumping gas than you will by inhaling vapor emitted from candles. If you take a bunch of unrefined mineral oil and lather it on your nuts every day for a few years you’ll probably get some scrotal cancer, though (per the IARC monograph)
