    Gas is better to cook with, and the science behind health effects is pure junk epidemiology and somehow ignores that gas ranges all have exhaust fans.

      Having a gas stove is the equivalent of having a smoker at your kitchen table from a benzene (carcinogen) perspective. Measuring benzene is not junk science. And benzene is a well known carcinogen that was found even when not using the stove. Is your assumption that everyone runs their exhaust 100% of the time?

      Mine literally does not because the house was built in the 80s in the soviet union. I mean I don’t even have a hob. If I want to ventilate the gas out, I need to open a window. Which does more to work against my heat pump than to actually ventilate the kitchen.
