Interesting numbers. Do you have any citations?

Here's what I was able to find: American Cancer Society: 2023 SPECIAL SECTION: LUNG CANCER

Page 32: > The lifetime risk of developing lung cancer is approximately 6.2% among men and 5.8% among women, or 1 in 16 men and 1 in 17 women during their lifetime (Table 6).

> However, these probabilities are based on lung cancer occurrence in the general population so the risk is substantially higher for those with a history of smoking. 15

Page 37: >The primary risk factor for lung cancer is cigarette smoking, which accounts for about 80% of lung cancer cases and deaths (Figure 4).1 Cigarette smoking increases the risk of lung cancer 25-fold in both men and women compared to people who never smoked.15

So clearly the answer is "I have never worked in the food service industry".

The reason I asked, is because if you had you would realize that when you do something 1000x a day, 5-6 days a week, for years, you naturally have a few mishaps here and there. The fact that you will completely drop a place for something simple like this is telling to both your character and your experience.

Make sense?
