Resistive heating? Sure. Those things are nasty. But otherwise... nothing beats 7.2 kW of inductive energy transfer straight into the bottom of your pan.

#12I once read, that regularly lighting stuff on fire near your home is generally a bad for your health.

You don’t care about the impact on your health or your children’s health? That seems short sighted to me.
A proper extractor fan mitigates the problem entirely.
For a lot of cooking, gas is simply superior in almost every way to induction or electric. Induction has a few advantages in certain situations, but not many - gas is more flexible.
Now there is something to be said about people using insufficient extraction or not maintaining their ventilation/extraction systems for sure, or grossly underspeccing them so that they aren’t worth a shit.

After trying induction for a couple of years, I now believe it's superior to gas.
Are they cost effective? I suppose in the long term you save money by paying for electricity instead of gas, which could offset price differences. I strongly prefer gas stoves over conductive electric ranges, but haven’t tried an induction stove yet.

Current place I rent has those awful resistive heating stovetop, previous place had induction. I miss gas - for some stuff I now have to either use a small camp stove type gas thing or a blowtorch, electric (resistive or induction) simply is no fucking good at all for some cooking tasks.

Induction is better than electric but it isn’t as good as gas in my opinion. You can’t use copper cookware, you are very limited on how you apply heat, you can’t use techniques like flambé, you can’t hold food directly over a flame to singe like you can with gas, etc.
Induction is fine for some people but not for everyone. Not to mention in many places they are more expensive to buy and operate. Besides, venting your stove makes gas perfectly safe. The process of cooking creates more harmful gasses anyhow. Burning toast will freak any monitor out.

And what about their kids that didn’t choose to get asthma?
And what about the adults who wouldn’t have chosen a gas stove if they had balanced and factual information rather than information tainted by corporate influence?
