Asbestos insulation workers, as a group, have a high risk of dying of bronchogenic carcinoma (about seven or eight times expected). We have observed 370 such workmen from Jan 1, 1963 to April 30, 1967. Our findings indicate that asbestos exposure alone is not the entire explanation. Of 87 noncigarette smokers, none died of bronchogenic carcinoma. Of 283 workmen with a history of regular cigarette smoking, 24 died of bronchogenic carcinoma, although only three were expected to die of this disease. Calculations suggest that asbestos workers who smoke have about 92 times the risk of dying of bronchogenic carcinoma as men who neither work with asbestos nor smoke cigarettes. We conclude that asbestos exposure should be minimized, that asbestos workers who do not smoke should never start, and that those now smoking should stop immediately.
