> using a wood-fired stove/fireplace for around a month per year for 10 years or more will increase your chance of lung cancer by ~70%
Really?! I just started using a wood fireplace, so this concerns me. I wish I understood things like "Cox regression" and other sciency things so I could trust this study.
I wouldn't worry too much. It's a very small chance you'll develop cancer from your fireplace. But it's increasingly apparent that there's no harmless dose for smoke inhalation.
