Because the cigarette is at least slowly killing her.

that's what my sister said. We laughed our way through this movie. Sweet J this was terrible.

I think they say the candles are holy and that's why they don't burn, probably... still chuckled at that though!

They specifically said candles that were given by the priest and Church.

I'm sure that's why they wouldn't light.

Soooooo they couldn't use regular candles?

There would be no point in burning regular candles. I assume they wanted to burn blessed candles to help purify their home.

The candles were from a church and blessed by a priest. I'm assuming her cigarettes were not.

Many good points. The moment the husband said the 'blessed' candles wouldn't burn, wifey took a drag off her smoke. I laughed at the irony even though I understood the reasons the candles wouldn't burn was precisely because they were blessed. That still didn't answer the question as to why they had bulbs lying all over from desperately changing them for the sake of lighting the room, but weren't burning regular ol' unblessed Biglot's $2.00 candles for the same reason.

The script got a little tripped up over itself there for a moment. Funny.
