I've had my new gas range going on 2 years. When the news came out last year about these possibly stirring up asthma I was a little concerned since I have very mild asthma that rarely comes around and it never made it worse. I've done the overhead fan thing at times but recently don't even use that. I'm used to the light smell when standing near it. I don't smell it when I'm over 5 feet away. The stinkier gas smell when I turn the knob and it clicks, misses, then lights after a few tries eventually goes away. I have a gas detector in the house that never went off yet. I've been comfortable cooking with gas for a while now so not particularly worried. Gas bill is around $20 a month.
