As an added benefit besides the environmental ones - you can't blow out a wall and collapse a house with careless use of an induction cooker. :)

    All it takes is someone not knowing how to handle a grease fire, and you can make one of those on anything called a stove.

    I don't know what you're trying to convey with this.

    Also, very unlikely. You need a source of ignition to start a fire. So unless someone is letting grease get so hot that it is ignitable, then lighting a cigarette within inches of the, again, very hot grease. Then the likelihood of starting a grease fire with an induction cooktop is near zero.
