    Isn't the risk for pancreatic cancer pretty damn low as is? Something in the single digit percentage?

      The annual death from pancreatic cancer in the UK is 12 per 100,000. This study does not differentiate between smokers and non-smokers. However the second site I've posted states that only 1 in 5 pancreatic cancers are linked to smoking.

      I know this relates to smoking, but I remember reading an article stating that 10 out of every 100 smokers will get lung cancer - meaning that the other 90 don't. 2 out of every 100 people who have never smoked will get lung cancer anyway.
      I'm afraid I can't find the link for this but it might ring some bells for some of you.
