The cable is not the problem the protective coating on the cable is. MilSpec cable is very hard to burn the cable, normal cable coatings when burned give off toxic gases depending on what the coating is made of.

If you inhale 'air' from your nose, you are more protected from nasty tings in the air because your nose hairs catch everything bad (or most of it), and gives you the 'clean' air. This is also how 'boogers' are formed :)


What are fumes?

Toxic fumes are gases that are poisonous or dangerous to people. There are different levels of toxicity, meaning some fumes ( gases ) are more dangerous than others. For instance, carbon monoxide can be present in your house. It is a toxic fume that comes from car exhaust or furnaces. In very, very low concentrations, you may only show mild symptoms like a headache or even none if you come and go a lot. But in higher concentrations it will be lethal (deadly ) and kill you. Toxic fumes generally come from factories or result from chemical processes like combustion ( in an engine ), or processing/manufacturing ( mills, oil refineries,chemical plants). It is now widely accepted that cigarette smoke is toxic, as it causes cancer, and has been linked to lung and heart diseases. Generally, most toxic fumes are man-made.
