17. If I Smoked Cigarettes, Can I Still File A Claim Against
The Asbestos Companies?
Asbestos alone can cause lung
cancer. If you smoked in the past or are presently smoking,
and have been diagnosed with lung cancer, asbestos may also
be a cause of your cancer. For smokers, asbestos and tobacco
act together, greatly increasing the risk of lung cancer.
The combination of smoking and asbestos can increase the risk
factor of lung cancer.
Smoking does not cause mesothelioma
or asbestosis. Therefore, if you have been diagnosed with
mesothelioma or asbestosis, it was caused by your asbestos
exposure, and has no relationship to your smoking.
