Rabbits and smoke

Question
Hello, I have 2 rabbits in an apartment, and their cages are about 20 feet away from the kitchen. The kitchen has no door, and I am afraid that if I cook (maybe only once every 2 weeks) will it be harmful to the rabbits?
Thanks

Answer
It shouldn't be a problem. If you have a gas stove, just be sure not to keep it on "light" for longer than it needs, and turn it off promptly when you are done cooking to prevent excess gas from getting into the air. Otherwise, I've never had a problem with similar situations; even when it came to baby rabbits.
