Hi and welcome to HCM
Actualy you are having some dependence on kerosene so you will got addicted if you do it for long time ....it is also a kind of drug abuse....so better to avoid it .....by the way if you do it for one year it may also be carcinogenic (can cause cancer), so take a desicion and leave this habbit.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and informative and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care.
