A member asked:
I dropped a small finger sized plastic wrapper onto a burning coal. the plastic burned for a few seconds i heard it sizzle and moved it. am i okay?

Yes: I assume you are concerned about the fumes from the plastic wrapper. As long as you feel fine, and you didn't inhale a large puff of smoke from the burning plastic, you are fine. If you did, you would have noticed significant coughing and lung irritation.
