Mostly unburned carbon particles.
The white smoke from a candle is caused by incomplete combustion of the candle wax, which releases tiny carbon particles in the air. These particles scatter light, making the smoke appear white. It is a normal occurrence when a candle burns.
The smoke released when a candle is extinguished is primarily composed of unburned hydrocarbons and soot particles. These particles are the byproducts of incomplete combustion of the candle wax and wick materials.
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.
The wax and the wick burn, but not completely, the unburnt part being mainly carbon n the form of very small particles. These are quite hot and glow white, yellow, and red, and are resonsible for the 'flame' and its colour. After the particles leave the immediate area of the flame they cool down and don't glow any more. They are now the smoke.
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
A candle when it burns lets out smoke.
When you relight a candle from the smoke, it is because the smoke contains unburned carbon particles that can reignite when exposed to a flame.

Yes, the black smoke from a candle is a result of a chemical change. It is the incomplete combustion of the wax in the candle, producing carbon particles that are visible as black smoke.

The black smoke produced from a burning candle is a physical change. This is because the change in appearance (from no smoke to black smoke) does not involve a change in the chemical composition of the candle wax or the oxygen in the air. The black smoke is primarily made up of tiny carbon particles that result from incomplete combustion of the candle wax.

Any kind of smoke will irritate your eyes. Avoid getting smoke in your eyes.
