I open the window and turn on the extractor fan when I use my gas hob.
It uses a fraction of the fuel that my car does. Easily less than 10%.
Frying on an electric hob is hardly good for your lungs either.
This is just rage porn.

Good. One of the possible interventions is to make ventillation a building code requirement.
You cannot fry indoors without ventilation unless you enjoy choking on smoke.
Neither can you boil indoors without ventilation unless you enjoy coating everything in the room with moisture.
The combustion of a gas stove IME is a smaller contributor to ventilation requirements than both of the above. Maybe the moisture one is less relevant in low humidity environments like parts of California?
edit: I just checked, here in the UK new kitchens require extractor fans regardless of fuel used, which makes sense to me.
Not in the US at the federal level. Some states have code requirements about it. My house lacks one, which is annoying when I'm searing steaks, and I plan to rectify it when we redo the kitchen.
I don't particularly agree with making it a legal requirement either way, but if it is, then it's a cooking thing.
