After news broke last week that the Biden administration was floating new regulations on indoor air pollution from gas stoves, both sides of the very online culture warriors took their habitual corners. It was an annoying week-long discourse to be sure, but something worse than annoying also happened. Many corporate media news consumers, parents in particular, began taking the alleged threat of a gas stove in their homes seriously as they devoured and shared headlines like WaPo’s “Gas stove pollution causes 12.7% of childhood asthma,” and The New York Times’ “Your Gas Stove May Be Killing You. How Much Should You Worry?”
The influential parenting data expert and self-described “vagina economist,” Emily Oster blasted out her weekly email newsletter with the subject line “Gas Stoves and Asthma,” describing the “panicked emails and DMs” she received from her readers. Local news outlets latched on to the “advice for parents” angle, and parenting blogs asked pediatricians to weigh in.
But as The Washington Free Beacon reported on Monday, the study behind the Consumer Product Safety commissioner’s call to ban gas stoves not only fails to prove a connection between gas stoves and asthma but was funded by a green energy group with ties to the Chinese government.
“The study — which spans just nine paragraphs — was based on a hodgepodge of different data and methodologies spanning various years and countries, ranging from 2019 U.S. Census data to conclusions from a 2018 analysis in Australia,” Free Beacon reporters Collin Anderson and Joseph Simonson found.
In other words, despite corporate media fearmongering, a gas stove is one of the less harmful items to have in your family’s household and is only being presented as dangerous as a means for the government(s) to control your energy usage. In fact, here are 27 things that pose a greater risk to your child’s health and well-being than exposure to a gas stove.
If your children or teenagers have access to one or more of these items, a gas stove is the least of your worries.
It’s hard to believe people would actually believe the gas stove stupidity, but the last three years proves some people are just that stupid.
Baaaaaaaa. Baaaaaaa

Smartphones are the single most destructive invention of the 20th/21st century.
And those two year olds.....geeez...they walk into walls. They pull dressers over (yes granddaughter...if you're reading this..I mean you)
Looking for a portable TV, but it seems like every TV up to about 27 inches has the same minimum price. It must hit a point where the receiver and signal processing chips set the minimum rather than screen size.
Yes I know. They also are used to track, provide propaganda, divide, isolate, confuse, corrupt. People used to talk to one another, now they stare at the tiny screen. The technology is wonderful the but people in control of it are evil.
Heelys. LOL.
This idea about gas stoves being bad for you is a facade. They really want to end fossil fuels. It’s hard to attack gas directly because it burns very cleanly and contributes to atmospheric CO2 far less than other fossil elements.
If reasonable people are going to be against some of their recommendations on climate, they do well to attack the least offensive to get rid of ALL of them.
This is all about Climate Change, which used to be called Global Warming—means the same thing in their minds.
