New York to Ban Natural Gas, Including Stoves, in New Buildings

But...replace gas range with seatbelts or smoking cigarettes indoors and you're repeating exactly the argument that was made while that legislation was happening. "We can't add legislation because I like the dangerous thing"

If I were to take your examples; range hood is the seatbelt; what this legislation is doing is telling driving “too unsafe; everyone must take train”.

Or too take cigarettes example; ban cigarette sales completely instead of banning smoking indoors.

I hope you see the nuance now.

I don't. I still see a person advocating for their own ability to be negligent as a result of personal preference, in the face of data suggesting that preference is a problem.

If you are going to make up your own definition of "facts" and "data" to suit your argument; I dont think there is a point for me continuing to engage! Have good day
