Is incense OK as a Christian?

In my flat I burn quite a lot of incense from the Chinatown district of my city.. it helps me creatively and aids concentration. Do you think this is okay from a Christian perspective?

I heard someone say once that Diet Coke can be a sin if it comes between you and God. If somehow your burning inscence comes between you and God, then yes, it's a sin. I don't think it's a huge deal.

Also, it is an age old tradition spoken of in the Bible. Incense is seen as the prayers of the people rising toward GOD. In many Christian traditions, incense is seen as a blessing, a sweet aroma that arises before God.

Let my prayer arise, in thy sight as incense, and let the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrifice, hear me O' Lord.
