Frequently Asked Asbestos Questions
How does smoking affect Asbestos risk?
Research shows that smokers who are exposed to asbestos have a greater risk for developing lung cancer. However, smoking and asbestos exposure combined do not seem increase the risk of developing mesothelioma.
Studies show that workers exposed to asbestos reduce their chance of getting lung cancer if they quit smoking. Those who may have been exposed at work should not smoke.
