Yeah, the VOCs seemed to be the main focus. The introduction talked about how most cooking studies have been on people still using biomass fuel in low income regions, and they wanted to look if higher income areas using more modern methods of cooking still suffered the same increased lung cancer risks.
Not OP, but it made me curious too, and this is the study I found that sounded like what was mentioned.
From my quick skim of it, it didn’t look at gas vs electric specifically, and I don’t know if biomass fuel use was included in this study or not. Their results seemed to indicate more cooking daily in general, lots of frying, and not using a fume hood all had notable increases in cancer risk per their data collected.

It removes some of the tissue from the vocal cords.
They can still bark, or at least the one dog I’ve met that had it done to it could, it just sounded more like a cough than a bark.
It’s often looked down on as unnecessary surgery, as it does nothing to address why the dog was barking to begin with. There are some groups that support it, as it can be looked at as something that can allow the dog to be out in public without being considered a nuisance or as a procedure that can prevent the dog from being put down.
