Smoking Tobacco Products, Asbestos Exposure and the Risk of Lung Cancer

Breathing the toxic chemicals in cigarette smoke harms nearly every organ in your body.  Chemicals added to tobacco can also increase your risk of developing lung cancer.  Asbestos, a dangerous carginogen known to cause mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer and asbestosis was once used in cigarette filters in the 1950s.

Asbestos is also present in the work environment (occupational exposure) that make or use asbestos-containing products such as insulation, ceiling or floor tiles, cement pipes, automotive repair of brakes and clutches.   We are all exposed to low levels of asbestos in the air.

Even though in the United States current exposures are generally much lower than in the past, occupational and environmental exposures to asbestos remain a concern.
