I don't know how much of a problem carbon dioxide would be from this. Some fuels pose a more serious problem than others. Oil lamps and candles are used indoors all the time.

While ventilation is always good for any flame, the amount of carbon dioxide produced from one of these does not displace enough oxygen to be dangerous. Even in a small apartment. I wouldn't recommend one of these in a tent, not because of the carbon dioxide issue, but because I'd never light a flame in a tent and risk burning or melting the tent. It's always important to be as safe as possible, so thanks for raising the issue.
