I don’t think that’s true. The worry is the NOx emissions (that is a combustion product from the foams, not from cooking), the amount being produced by gas stoves which was previously under-appreciated until recently.

Studies I’ve seen indicate that most domestic rangehoods (apart from the very high end ones) are not sufficient to effectively remove these gas combustion products.

The point still stands, the NO2 emission might be negligible compared to simple food emissions. From personal experience, preheating an (electric) oven to high temperature seems to result in lung irritation for days if I forget to turn on the extraction hood.
