Yeah many people don’t “shut off” their stoves. There’s a pilot light constantly emitting a little bit of benzene. The apartment unit I lived in for years had gas stoves with pilot lights in all the units
Most gas stoves I’ve used have electric starters, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen one with a pilot light. I’m in the US for reference, not sure how it is elsewhere.
It’s only safe if the full fume hood is running 24/7. Gas stoves emit a lot more pollution when off than what people initially thought

The only pilot lights I’ve ever seen were on massive professional restaurant ranges with big 24/7 running fumehoods so…
I had one when we lived in a house with propane. Anyway, the oven had a pilot flame but the burners had electric igniters.
