My house came with a gas stove. I can replace it but obviously it will cost a lot. I also know it's usually good to not throw a working appliance out even if it's not as efficient. I'm just wondering with everything on the table, should I throw out my gas stove? It's really hard for me to weigh the pros and cons because it's not clear how bad the cons are. Its obviously bad to use a gas stove but just how bad is it?

If you have young children, there's a higher chance they'll develop asthma. For that reason, I'm planning on trying to move to electric over the next couple of years.
We don't have kids (yet) which is why it's harder for us to weigh the pros and cons.
Getting the wiring for my stove cost more than the stove. Electricians are expensive!
I'm not a gas stove purist but I just wanted to put forth a point which I don't see raised here- my cultural food is quite bit reliant on an open flame for things such as daily bread and the occasional vegetable or meat roasting. I have used an electric stove for it in the past but the results are nowhere close.
My entire country has only ever cooked on gas stoves as far as I know so I would love for this study to also be conducted in my country because I don't know where the adverse effects of gas stoves would have been manifesting in the people around me since I see most people here live full lives.
Says all of this . Doesn't mention their country . leaves .
THEY ARE COMING AFTER YOUR LEAD PIPES AND KITCHEN WARE. THE EVIL LIBERALS ARE TAKING EVERYTHING THAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE!!!!!!!!

Lead poisoning. That checks out.
Nitrogen dioxide is a made up liberal democratic fake new word. Sounds like something a socialist marxist communists college professor would brain wash into students.
I've been using a stove forever. I've never seen this so called nitrogen dioxide. Smell that steam (cough cough). Don't look at the marks on the ceiling. It's a fine dust that sticks to everything. Can you open the window wide? I've been getting the strangest headaches when cooking lately.
Yeah the liberals want you to eat the fake meat from Bill Gates
My great great grandfather tested an electric stove in 1927. It was horrible. He wrote using a fountain pen in his journal using cursive that I should never buy one.
My family has been ~~smoking cigarettes~~ using gas stoves for generations
If ~~smoking age is raised~~ gas stoves aren't sold anymore, Biden will come take it from my home!
My father's father lived a happy life with cancer from ~~smoking~~ cooking daily on an unventilated gas stove, and died happily at 53. I never met him.
Look around. Point to me the people walking around who are dead from ~~smoking~~ cooking daily over an unventilated gas stove.
