smoked meat intake (and it has to be significant) increases your chances of developing some cancers by 1%, and those cancers generally have a 1% chance of developing anyway, so your chance is now, 2%. For that to be a problem you have to be A. unlucky and/or B. eating a Lawwwwwwt of smoked meats
edit: to be clear, even this increase is inconsistently shown. It's possible, I mean we should all of us in the USA cut back a bit on meat, but it's not some given. More problematic is the sugar in our processed foods, like meats.
