There was a machlokes with regard to how fruits of shvi’is may be used. According to the Tanna Kamma they may only be used in a manner similar to eating in which “It is destroyed as it is enjoyed”. According to Rabbi Yosi it can be used for anything other than medicinal purposes which are only necessary for a minority of people.

 Summary 

 Question: Which Tanna does the following beraisa follow?

 “For eating”: But not for medicinal purposes. Nor for squirting [wine on the fire to create a pleasant aroma]. Nor to be used for apiktuzin [a vomit inducer to enable the noblemen to eat more]. 

 Response: This follows Rabbi Yosi. According to the Chachomim, soaking and laundering is also forbidden.

This is a proof that the statement (32.1) “Firewood does not have kedushas shvi’is” is actually debated by the Tannaim. According to the Chachomim, this is true, since firewood is not enjoyed while it is destroyed. But according to Rabbi Yosi, firewood is also limited by the laws of shvi’is.
