Why does the candle relight when you put burning match near the smoke?
The smoke from the candle has vaporized wax, which is highly flammable vs carbon soot. When the flame touches the stream of vaporized wax (smoke) the heat is transferred back to the wick relighting it.
Why is there still smoke coming out a candle after it is gone out?
When a candle "goes out" the burning of the wax has stopped, but there is still some burning of the wick material. Typically this burning is less intense and less "clean" than the burning of the wax and gives off more smoke. Once the wick stops burning, there should not be any more smoke.
Why can you light a candle by putting a match flame in the smoke of a candle which has been blown out?
A very good question my freind and im surprised no one has given you the answer. This is very unusual thing since smoke is carbon dioxide and is NOT flamable but however the candle is coated in "proffin" so its the proffin in the smoke that causes the candle to light back up. im not registerd to this site i just thought i would answer your Q if you had any other Q's or wanted to thank me my email is: j0k3r@live.com that is a zero not an o lol WRONG /\ Actually, smoke is quite flammable. Smoke is generally seen from fires that are burning every inefficiently (such as one that is just put), thus the smoke contains a lot of the unburnt fuel. Efficient fires to not produce smoke. Anyway, the smoke from the blown out candle is fuel...as it travels upwards it mixes with the oxygen in the air...thus we have two side of the fire triangle. However, since you cooled the candle (by blowing on it) you removed the last part, the heat; thus combustion stopped. When you light the smoke with a match, you re-introduce the heat and combustion begins anew. Never heard of "proffin" nor was I able to find it on google or anywhere. Did you mean paraffin? Candles are made of paraffin (that is actually what burns) the wick allows the flame to be incident on the surface of the wax; the wax vaporizes and is actually what burns not the wick. -nickccoates@gmail.com

Why did the smoke from the extinguished candle reignite the candle?
because, when the wax is lit it burns off as a vapor, when the candle was extinguished the wax vapor was still in the air, and the wax acts as fuel for the flame of a candle, so the flame combusted and lit the vapor, leading back to the candle wick.
