I think, given we as a species have cooked with flame since time immemorial, the risks are negligible.

It's not the flames, it's the fact that it's in an enclosed space. Burning natural gas gives off c02 (duh), but it also produces formaldehyde (a big time carcinogen) and nitrogen dioxide which is a big factor in causing asthma. Using a gas grill outside? No problem, using a gas grill inside with a fume hood on? No problem. Using one inside without a fume hood? Asthma.

13% of children who develop asthma can thank gas stoves for that.

Also something being done for a long time isn't really a good reason to ignore fact/new developments. We as a species also didn't have antibiotics for 99.9%+ of our existence, we didn't say "the risks are negligible" about infections.

Also not to mention it's an irrelevant point as we have only been cooking with gas for about 150 years
