Doug compares the assessment of risk from lung cancer with that of CJD.

UK lung cancer deaths 100 per 100,000 per year, or one for every thousand. (http://willroberts.com/lungcancer/epidem.html)

Deaths from CJD per year, one for every three million, or about as much chance as being struck by lightning in the US. -- James Heartfield
