Nope, incorrect. Nitrites/Nitrates don't have any good evidence by themselves for being carcinogenic/generally harmful. However, they can form nitrosomenes when cooked at a high heat alongside protein, aka fried bacon, which are considered carcinogenic (but concentrations vary on how much is actually harmful). Eat oven baked/microwave bacon every once in a while, and its fine.
