This academic paper presents a meta analysis of evidence for a multiplicative risk effect of combined asbestos and smoking exposure.
Evidence from:
PN Lee. Occupational and Environmental Medicine (2001) Vol.58 #3 p.145.
Under typical exposure conditions, the relative risk from asbestos dust exposure was around 5 and from smoking, around 10 giving a combined relative risk of 50.
