Cooking with gas is amazing for the environment.
Cooking with gas culturally adds to the art of food.
Unfortunately because of the massive anti-gas lobby groups it's hard to tell if it causes exposure to inappropriate levels of pollution.
One paper suggests it causes 2 times the amount of PM 2.5, which means nothing, you still have to deal with the PM 2.5 with or without gas, you'll need a good rangehood, and that's if this is your biggest expose to PM 2.5. Perhaps a general house air-filter is way more important.
And the only appropriate alternate to gas is induction, which makes this a rich persons discussion.
Pumping a gas into your house and then burning it intuitively seems like it would be bad, but it needs more proof before I'll give up the environment and cultural benefits.
