No. Laurel contains cyanide compounds which are toxic. These toxins remain in the smoke from the wood. It isn't illegal to sell it; it is often sold as firewood. Experts advise aging it at least 2 years to stabilize the tar in the wood, and to burn it in a closed, vented fireplace. The indoor open fire seems a poor idea.

In chemistry explain why small sticks burn faster than logs?

Small sticks burn faster than logs because they have a higher surface area to volume ratio, allowing oxygen to reach more of the material during combustion. This increased oxygen availability leads to a faster rate of burning. Logs, on the other hand, have a lower surface area to volume ratio and thus burn more slowly.
