YES. The available amount of oxygen in air regulates the candles burn. The oxygen burns with the paraffin wax. Both are consumed. A mix of more oxygen will burn faster and hotter. Rapid oxydation is dangerous.

∙ 13y agoYes, most combustion reactions require oxygen. A proof of this concept is to light a candle and place it in a jar, seal the jar lid so it is airtight. Eventually the flame will go out. There's still plenty of fuel in the candle but the oxygen is depleted. Since oxygen is required for combustion, the flame is extinguished.
Certain combinations of elements and or compounds can allow for combustion to occur without Oxygen present, in these reactions another element or compound is substituting for the role of Oxygen. However these combinations are very rare and almost never natural.
