Stoves are a pretty big source of directly-inhaled NOx pollution that is pretty much unregulated. Turning on the vent can help if it vents outside (many do not) but often not by enough to bring things down to a won't-give-kids-asthma level.

Californians do love gas stoves, and also seem lax about proper ventilation. I even have a friend with gas (no hood vent) who’s child has asthma🤦🏻‍♂️. I’m not a big fan of Newsom, but I think he’s kinda right about this. Labeling on new gas stoves has almost no impact. They should require the gas company to send state-published information about indoor air quality with gas stoves. They could require hood vents to have CO sensors that turn on automatically. Almost anything would be more effective than another warning label on new products.

How about building standards where gas stoves must have mandatory venting? Builders will of course say too much red tape, gas companies will donate to politicians and we'll be stuck here for 20 more years.
