I didn't realize this when I moved into my first apartment, a small studio with a gas stove, and the first month or so I couldn't figure out why I felt sick so often.

If you have a proper vent above the stove, use it. If you don't, or if like me you just have a fan above the stove that pushes the air back into the room, open your windows and use a fan whenever you're cooking. It's made a huge difference for me.

I hope whoever designed the first "oven vent that just blows the air into the room" had kids that ruined everything that person bought with whatever money they made for that waste of materials and apparent permission it gave to cheap builders to not bother with kitchen vents to the outside.

Yeah, they definitely knew what they were doing. It's shitty. And it baffles me that there's no regulation for this (in the US, that I'm aware of). Or hell, at least better awareness, considering I didn't learn until I was 18.
