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

The article I read said specifically flame creating the other particulates that incouraged the proposed ban, as these particulates are cause by the food itself (assuming the maillard reaction) but for whatever reason said particulates were less present with electric. And a thing done for a long time that still allows humans to live a hundred years likely has negligible affects on health. Put the info out there, let people decide. Fan vents exist. This is an easy stance.
