So it’s actually even more interesting. Ovens don’t put out enough gas to do more than make you light headed, but back in the old days a lot of places used something called town gas. Which is a coal product, and is kinda poisonous. From what I remember reading, after town gas was phased out of use, suicides permanently declined, because suicide is often an impulse decision and making it less convenient makes it happen less

The smell of gas is added artificially so you can identify leaks; especially important with old gas.
