HOME ASBESTOS DRUGS POLLUTANTS ACCIDENTS MALPRACTICE STORY OF OUR FIRM SEARCH

The main cause of lung cancer is smoking.

How great is the combined risk of lung cancer due to asbestos exposure and smoking?

It is widely accepted that tobacco smoke interacts with asbestos in the causation of lung cancer.

This means that the risk of lung cancer for a smoker exposed to asbestos is greater than the sum of the individual effects due to smoking and due to asbestos.
