Put out candles by shoving the wick into the melted wax. This keeps the wick from smoking and ruining the fragrance in the room. Make sure you straighten the wick after the flame goes out.

Why not use an inexpensive candle snuffer or non-flammable coaster to put the candle out? That way there is no need to worry about finding something to stick the wick in to the wax and then have to pull the wick back up.

Do not blow out a candle flame. Bend the wick into the melted wax. The flame will go out and you wont get that awful smoking.
