I assumed the beef with gas (pun partially intended) was it’s burning a fossil fuel and releasing CO² whereas electric could potentially be drawing from carbon free sources.
Not that gas stoves are a direct risk to the user (although the one in the OP might be if that’s the best it can do)
No? Really? You don’t think gas and its combustion byproducts can ever be bad for you?
What are the known health effects from NO2 exposure?
In a 1992 meta-analysis of studies on this topic, scientists at the EPA and Duke University found that nitrogen dioxide exposure that is comparable to that from a gas stove increases the odds of children developing a respiratory illness by about 20 percent.

In addition to acute effects such as asthma symptoms, long-term nitrogen dioxide exposure has also been linked to chronic lung disease and increased mortality in general.
I agree with your point, but I hope you’re not seriously buying into the whole “gas stoves are a health risk” bullshit.

I have no opinion of gas stoves, although they would not be my personal preference.
