Isn't this just a requirement for a kitchen?
You cannot fry indoors without ventilation unless you enjoy choking on smoke.
Neither can you boil indoors without ventilation unless you enjoy coating everything in the room with moisture.
The combustion of a gas stove IME is a smaller contributor to ventilation requirements than both of the above. Maybe the moisture one is less relevant in low humidity environments like parts of California?
edit: I just checked, here in the UK new kitchens require extractor fans regardless of fuel used, which makes sense to me.

- throwaway22032 4y agoSure, I guess what I'm saying is - it's daft to limit this to gas stoves. I don't particularly agree with making it a legal requirement either way, but if it is, then it's a cooking thing.
