I would say that the little bit of smoke a paper towel or two produces on occasion is much less than what my neighbor produces mowing his lawn or my house would, going up in smoke.
I have a metal pail outside the shop and I burn anything that comes in contact with flammables(solvent, varnish, wax, whatever) immediately. That means rags, brushes, Q-Tips, stir sticks, etc.
Just put it in the pail(small amounts at a time) and use the butane grill lighter.

I could produce emissions if I took up smoking.
But, I do appreciate the advise.

For forty years I've kept it safe and simple.
