[Closed] Oh Dear God!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I'd much rather die suddenley than end up as a resident in my place of work (Nursing home) not knowing what day of the week it is and pissing my pants. No thank you.

I'm with you there fella. The way the whole pension system and retirement age situation is going, I reckon keeling over sideways at about 65 will be a merciful release.

Otherwise we'll be working until 75 to qualify for a pension of a packet of Werthers Original and a Pot Noodle a week. In a UN refugee tent. In a toxic waste dump in yorkshire

So, is that an increased risk if incidence of 0.0023%? (i.e. 19% of the original 0.0136%)? WGAS?

Ah, no, that's the incidence of cancer (number per year). Actual lifetime risk is 1.45%, meaning your risk of it in your lifetime increases to 1.73%.

Bacon gives you cancer,Smoking will give me cancer, alcohol will give me cancer.

The devil is in the detail. For example - there's a roughly 50% chance that smoking will kill you prematurely, evenly split between heart-lung disease or cancer. So toss a coin twice if you smoke - die early (yes/no), and if yes - cancer (yes/no). All other environmental and diet factors pale into insignificance compared with smoking.
