The silent killers; Passive smoke and Asbestos

November is National Asbestos Awareness month.

According to a variety of studies, cigarette smokers who are exposed to asbestos are about 50 – 84 times more likely to develop asbestos-related lung cancer.

Another reason to be aware and mindful each and every time you walk through cigarette smoke.
