Let’s let adults be adults and buy whatever stove they want.

And what about their kids that didn’t choose to get asthma? And what about the adults who wouldn’t have chosen a gas stove if they had balanced and factual information rather than information tainted by corporate influence? https://youtu.be/gCMzjJjuxQI https://youtu.be/gCMzjJjuxQI

  When my daughter was younger, I thought she might have respiratory issues from being born premature due to mild coughing fits almost her entire life. Tested for allergies and nothing came up. When she was 5, we moved to a new house. When I read the recent research, I realized that this coughing declined around when we moved. The difference? The old house had a microwave over the stove and vented inside. The new house vented outside. Anecdotal, but the research connected the dots for me.

    It blows my mind that the fake microwave hood is a thing. It's barely filtration, yet it successfully masquerades as ventilation.

    You're also overlooking a ton of other things, hidden mold being a significant one.

      Plot twist: new house actually had the mold issues; gutted the basement and added bathroom ventilation to address.

  Kids wouldn't even exist if it weren't for their parents being able to make their own choices. Plus, by your logic, nobody living in cities should have kids at all.

  Enforce building codes for adequate ventilation instead of banning the better stoves.

    Even then people don’t turn their vents on universally. I’ve had to train the whole family on the habit because nobody is motivated to turn them on when they’re heating up water for Mac and cheese or something that seems “clean.” I could maybe be more okay with gas stoves not being banned in new builds if there was automatic venting that turned on as soon as a burner turns on.
