The Surgeon General's 1985 report to Congress on how cigarette smoking combines with workplace exposures to cause cancer and chronic lung disease. Its chapter on asbestos-exposed workers reports that heavily exposed insulation workers who did not smoke had about five times the normal lung cancer risk, and that those who also smoked had more than 50 times the risk. Other chapters cover coal miners, silica, petrochemicals, cotton dust, radiation and workplace smoking-cessation programs.
