Gas stoves use natural gas, not carbon monoxide. The said detector will obviously not detect the leak. However, in closed space (completely locked kitchen door) carbon monoxide may be generated from the burning natural gas due to low oxygen caused by the consumption in a closed space. In that case the alarm may sound. This is not due to gas leak but due to burning of the gas in a closed kitchen and actual production of carbon monoxide.

Carbon monoxide is a tasteless, colorless, odorless gas. So, the answer would be "yes" if the "gas" you refer to is the CO.
If you mean natural gas, no. This gas is also tasteless, colorless, and odorless. This is why they have to add the smelly stuff to it so you will know if there's a leak somewhere.
And then there's the true story where smoking actually saved a guys life. He was trying to commit suicide by filling his home with gas by leaving the oven gas turned on. He decided at the last minute that he'd have a smoke before the gas took him to heaven. When he lit the match to light his cigarette the house exploded and threw him into the middle of the street. He survived.
Good Luck!

No, Carbon Monoxide is a by product of combustion. The gas needs to be burned before carbon monoxide will be present.
