The time it takes for asbestos to cause fatal health effects varies widely, often ranging from 10 to 50 years after exposure. Asbestos-related diseases, such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma, can develop long after initial exposure has occurred. Factors influencing this timeline include the level and duration of exposure, individual health conditions, and smoking history. Regular medical monitoring is essential for those who have been exposed to asbestos to detect any potential issues early.

Is the risk of dying from asbestos exposure greater than the risk of dying from long-term smoking?
The risk of dying from asbestos depends on how intense the asbestos exposure was, how often it occurred, and how long it lasted - and whether you were using any protective measures. The risk of dying from smoking depends on how long you have been smoking, how many cigarettes you smoke per day, and sometimes, how long has it been since you stopped smoking. So for some the risk of asbestos is greater than the risk of smoking and for others the risk of smoking is greater than the risk of asbestos. The important things to know are that: # Both smoking and asbestos exposure are risks that are avoidable, # You can take action to reduce your risks, even if you don't completely avoid the exposures, and # If you both smoke and have an asbestos exposure, your total risk is not simply the sum of the two risks, but the product of them (i.e. the risk of one multiplied by the risk of the other)
