That's not the same as "My doctor said cigarettes cause cancer, therefore cigarettes cause cancer."

What you said is not fallacious. It is trust. "I trust that he is correct, because he is more knowledgeable than I on this subject."

EDIT: Though, reading your quote, I may disagree... With myself.
"based on only this" do you mean therefore?
