You can burn a smaller amount of incense by stripping off the scented substance about an inch from the point you are lighting. It will go out when it reaches the bare wood.

I do not know?

Now, my parents don't like the smell of incense/smoke of incense so I was thinking, how can I reduce the strong scent of incense, and how can I reduce like how much smoke it releases? I love burning incense, but they don't like the scent.. So yeah.
