If you have a gas stove and can't afford, or don't want to switch to electric, keep a window open in the kitchen while you cook. This is especially important if your over-the-range hood does not vent to the outside (yes, that's a thing.) If your hood does vent to the outside, turn it on every time you cook and you're golden.

Yeah, I'm going to open a window every time I want to fry a couple of eggs or bake a loaf of bread at -25F/-32C.

Just how many hours a day do you think any stove is continuously on? That 3D printer you might own runs far, far longer.

If you don't want to poison yourself with fumes, then yes.

Then you must only breathe the finest purified filtered canned air. And not the dirty polluted air in whatever big city you live in.

I actually have more air quality measures in my home than most and I have multiple sensors measuring the quality of the air. I be been measuring it long enough to know exactly what causes my air quality to decrease.

I also do not live in or near a big city.

Your ignorance is not equal to my knowledge situation. I wouldn't expect a willfully ignorant person to believe this.
