Should Gas Stoves Be BANNED?

Hmmm, I hate how loud the extraction fan is so I rarely use it. I think I will reconsider this position.

Today's fact: The collars on men's dress shirts used to be detachable. This was to save on laundry costs as the collar was the part that needed cleaning the most frequently.

This was an interesting video. I have an air purifier and noticed it always switches to "high" 10-15 minutes after I start cooking dinner. I guess now I know why. (Edit: I have a gas range)

I would love to see an updated video on what vaping does to the body, the last one was 4 years ago and now there is so much more research since they’ve been around longer.

Anyway if you are a smoker, a gas stove is in my opinion the least of your worries...

In India, most use gas stoves instead of electric. And even if we have electric it's not reliable as there will be power outages(without warnings or reasons)💀... Atleast I have windows to open😅

Well, I'll make sure to have the vent on now whenever I cook, that's for sure. One of the reasons why I like having a gas stove is that I live in an area where there are sometimes power outages and it's reassuring to be able to cook and heat stuff even when the power is out.

You can also get a separate burner. They are very affordable even as induction versions. Of course when you have multiple pots and pans in use at the same time, it's not gonna fix the whole problem, and takes up space etc., but can still be a useful option in case one cannot afford to replace the whole appliance (or does not have the necessary wiring etc.).

Luckily i use volcanic magma

Personally for me the idea of moving everything to electric is more of a cost hurdle than anything else. Especially right now in the UK when electric prices are soaring to absolutely ridiculous levels so those less fortunate are forced to use gas alternatives to not lose their house (with the current average electric bill for last year sitting around £2,000.)

One point against this that I havnt seen is the simple reliability, (I’m sure I’ll be corrected if wrong) but up north most houses use gas ovens and gas heaters, because when a winter storm or blizzard hits, losing power is common, but because gas lines are always underground they don’t freeze and always work under any conditions

I have a gas stove and in the Northern parts of America, it's a little uncomfortable to open a window in the Winter every time you cook. ☹

No matter what stove you have, you need a fume hood. We aren't cooking on open firepit or with chimneys anymore that vent away the particulates.

One concern not addressed is the benefit of diverse energy sources supplying different appliances and utilities. When I had a gas stove and a gas water heater, I could still cook and take hot showers when the power went out. This was a huge win during major power outages that would last a few days. I miss it.

Bought my house little over a year ago, has gas stove, replaced all appliances last summer, about 9 months living in the house, changing gas stove to electric, and never looked back. cooks much better and now finding out all this, glad I did. Also is more then just getting a new stove, have to get new wiring from the box to the kitchen and 220v 50 amp socket. Also also hope you electric box can handle the extra amps. Meaning can you run the dryer, the A/C, and the stove at the same time? If not, need new box and wires going from the entrance of the house to the box.

I lived outside the U.S. when I was younger, we had gas stove and I never met one person with asthma until I met a girl from the U.S. that came to visit some relatives, I was about 17 at that time. After I moved to the U.S., I couldn't believe how many people suffer from asthma in this country ( including my wife of 30 years ). something very curious is that every time we visit places like Hawaii, Florida, The Bahamas and other hot and humid places, her asthma tends to fade away until we comeback to California, which makes me believe that is more of California air problem and not the gas stove. If, you have asthma and had visited any of these hot and humid places, have you had your asthma suppress as well ? And do other countries that use gas stove suffers from a lot of cases of asthma like U.S. as well?

Great, another thing to be anxious and upset about whilst knowing there’s absolutely nothing I can do about it

I live in a pretty old neighborhood, where we had 5 power outages (20+ hours) over the last 2 years. When the electricity goes out, the only thing we could cook with was the manual gas stove as everything else runs on electricity.

I bought an portable induction stovetop at IKEA for €40. Simply plugs into an outlet. Since i don’t cook that much anyway it has practically replaced my gas stove altogether. Would highly recommend!

I have lived 25 years and have been in countless kitchens, and I have never once seen anybody with a gas stove
