i bought a new nauticalia oil lamp for my boat. i bought this fuel for the lamp but am concerned about the health warnings on the bottle. it says the fluid if ingested is damaging to the lungs as well as potentially life changing for the worse. when i blow the wick out theres smoke from the lamp or if i put the flame on high that too has smoke and i am breathing some of the smoke in. i know smoke isnt the best thing for our lungs but is the smoke from the lamp as deadly as the fuel? It says its for indoor use as is the lamp and on a boat especially mine is a confined space, the boat originally had an older corroded lamp the same design but unsure the fuel used. but this modern fuel looks scary. Also i can still smell an odor from the lamp so the fuel isnt completely odourless
