The biggest health risk I've taken is sunbeds, although only for a very short period of my life. Oh, how I love to be evenly brown all over. Sadly, they're now illegal in Australia, or in Victoria anyway. Skin cancer. Actually being an Australian its probably certain I'll have skin cancer at some point - much more likely than a rectal cancer recurrence.
I actually feel that you shouldn't feel guilty about your vice. If you smoke but eat well for example, everyone focusses on the smoking but fails to realise that if they, say, are being sedentary, eating processed foods they're also playing roulette with their health. But yeah, if you smoke, drink, eat badly, never exercise and visit the sunbed every day, well, you'll probably have a short life but no doubt a happy one.
