In the grand scheme of risks, this one doesn't seem terribly high.

Look out for bees, too.
For me, the story is not second hand. I also know that many doctors have advised me not to smoke but I have never seen heaps of dead people inside the smoking lounges at airports.

I still smoke (although I acknowledge the risks) and I am certainly not in a position to debate this with a hematologist -- although I would not hesitate for a second to take the upgrade.
