Lighting the candle

because the candle flame uses oxygen from the atmosphere to sustain itself.

the gas hobs have air shutters through which the air is supplied for the flame.

But it is burning the same air from the kitchen. It is not like candle is releasing some sex pheromones to attract those molecules of oxygen which have odor molecules attached to them. :ahaa:
