Your friends have recently started smoking.
That's a social/behavioral risk you can change (avoid peer pressure, choose not to smoke, spend time with different friends). By contrast, a family history of heart disease and a higher incidence of high blood pressure in your ethnic group are nonmodifiable risk factors. (You can reduce accident risk by safer choices, but you can't change the fact that accidents are a leading cause.)
