Does that seem unusual or alarming to you? Lots of fun and enjoyable things have tradeoffs that people willingly make. There' a balance to be struck between having fun in the moment and your long-term health, and most people tolerate a fair bit of risk in exchange for fun. Otherwise, nobody would drink alcohol, go skiing, etc.
People laugh at the light-proof HEPA cocoon I live in, but I refuse to accept the inevitability of my death at anything other than time's hands.
No it doesn’t. I think my point was that people budget their carcinogenic exposure in non-optimal, hard to rationalize ways. Like living in places with terrible air quality (California) and then being concerned about gas stoves.
It's way easier to change your gas stove than to move.
Oh don’t I know it! That wasn’t the best example, just saying, “penny wise pound foolish” applies to health as well as finances.
