While I’m not going to shed tears for gas stoves, I also think that your argument is flawed. Everything in life is unsafe to some degree. Kids drown in pools of water, yet pools aren’t being banned. Electricity can be very unsafe, yet we allow our homes to be wired with it. Storing fuels or certain chemicals can be very dangerous, but we don’t outright ban it. Why?

Because we manage risk. We manage risk by forcing appropriate containers, safety measures, building codes, etc. Gas stoves have a risk that can be managed as well if we want to. Last I checked, labs work with far more dangerous vapors yet have no problem because they use proper fume hoods. Here, there’s nothing that would stop you from going for a compromise solution demanding that all new gas stoves are installed with a fume hood capable of X amount of CFM with automatic sensors to detect the presence of either CO2 or particulates.
