Points cles

- Asbestos exposure can cause lung cancer independently of smoking; combined exposure produces synergistic risk.
- The Helsinki Criteria help determine when a lung cancer can reasonably be attributed to asbestos exposure.
- Smoking cessation is one of the most important interventions for people with a history of occupational asbestos exposure.
