It isn't normal that the gas is smelled, when you open the oven button and press the ignition switch at the same time. Everything must be checked to assure that no leakage is occuring.

But,when you open the oven button and don't press the ignition button rapidly in order to ignite the gas in the oven, there is a brief moment in which some gas is released until the ignition occurs. On this sense, it is normal to smell some gas. However, a check out is recommended every three months.

Should someone without the ability too smell use a gas stove?

if someone who can't smell used a gas oven they could get seriously injured because they cannot detect any gas leaks. But if they are not alone while using the stove and are with someone who can smell then it should be safe. In conclusion, a person who can't smell shouldn't use a gas stove without another person who could detect a gas leak.

Why is it important to preheat cooking equipment before cooking?

You should always preheat equipment such as ovens and fryers so that they are cooking at the correct temperature when the food is placed in it. This will ensure proper even cooking of the food. If you are using an electric stove, you may want to preheat your pans because it takes so long for electric heating elements to come to temperature, compared to gas burners. If your recipe says to cooks at medium for 15 minutes, you won't be at "medium" on an electric stove for several of those 15 minutes unless you preheat.
