I'd be interested how many people thought it was just about infectious epidemics, and didn't realise that observing that smokers have higher rates of lung cancer, for example, is also epidemiology.

I would fall into this category - I thought of it as something like "the study of how diseases spread through a population" so not just epidemics per se but certainly to do with infections.
