Holy shit, how long would one live without lung cancer smoking these? Directly inhaling fibers which never will leave your lung again. Did anyone smoke these for the years they existed and lived without lung cancer?

From the asbestos.com link someone else posted:

Asbestos exposure is the primary cause of pleural mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer, but inhaling asbestos also multiplies a smoker’s risk of developing lung cancer fiftyfold or greater.

The carcinogenic risk of asbestos exposure and cigarette smoking is exponentially higher than the risk of each exposure added. This is known as the synergistic effect of asbestos exposure and smoking.
