    FYI you are choosing to be exposed to benzene then which is the equivalent of a smoker at your kitchen table from a carcinogen perspective.

      I get that cooking on a gas stove is viscerally rewarding, and a link back to one of the first technologies ever invented: controlling fire.

      I like sitting around a camp fire or bonfire too. It makes me happy. But i know the smoke is bad for me. There’s no reason for me to say it is “junk science” to be concerned about the smoke.

      I’m still going to sit around the campfire but I’ll be respecting it and trying to minimize harm.
