‘Reasons’ describe the reasons that participants provided for either liking or disliking LPG or biomass more as compared with before the pandemic or using cooking fuels as reported (Bihar sample; f ), grouped by the participants’ reported fuel-stacking category at that time point. Reasons that are considered ‘pro-LPG’ or ‘anti-biomass’ are solid lines with filled-in dots as point estimates, and those that are ‘anti-LPG’ or ‘pro-biomass’ are dashed lines with ‘x’ as point estimates. Reasons were not prompted, were non-exclusive and participants could report more than one reason. Methods and Supplementary Table 15 provide more details on the survey questions that underlie the reported reasons for cooking-fuel use as reported in panels c and f.
