How does oxygen affect how long a candle burns for?

Oxygen is necessary for combustion to take place. When a candle burns, it reacts with oxygen in the air to produce a flame. Increasing the oxygen supply will result in a hotter and more efficient burn, causing the candle to burn more quickly. Conversely, reducing the oxygen supply will cause the flame to burn more slowly or even extinguish.
