My fiance has cystic fibrosis. We just bought a house and I am picking out a stove. I generally prefer gas stoves but I saw something a few months ago about how they have been linked to decreased lung function in asthmatic children. After reading the entire article, it looked as if they were looking at poor homes where the stove wasn't vented properly and was used to heat the home.
Does anyone here know if a gas stove used for cooking that has a hood above it for ventilation would at all harm someone with cystic fibrosis? I wouldn't want to get anything to make my fiance's lung function worse.
