The way to look at these risks is like this: if you have a 5% risk of something and the behavior can increase it by 10% your risk becomes 0.05 x 1.1 = 0.055 or 5.5%. If your risk was much lower the increase would be lower, if the risk was greater the increase would be greater. It can be difficult to know your risk category. Discuss your risk with your doctor.
