Beepee, I have a lot of respect for the elderly.

But you ou will be suprised to be informed that most smokers do not get lung cancer. That does not mean that smoking does not increase the risk of lung cancer.

BBQ is a similiar case, that also increases the risk of cancer due to the agressive chemicals created by the burning process.

Nevertheless I both smoke and love a BBQ.

A warning does not harm. What you do with that warning then is completly up to you. But just to dismiss those warnings for feeling better or even attack the messenger won't reduce that risk. It is not ment as an attack on your personal way of life.
