Everyday hazards such as inhaling polluted city air or other people's cigarette smoke are potentially worse for your health than being exposed to the radioactive fallout of an atomic bomb, according to new research."

I tend to the latter, that ionising radiation is less harmful and is best described as a rather weak carcinogen.
