<abstract displayLabel="Summary">It is well known that an interaction exists between smoking and exposure to asbestos in the occurrence of lung cancer, whereas occurrence of malignant mesothelioma has not been related to smoking. In the case of pleural thickening related to asbestos, there is a disagreement in previous studies as to the effect of smoking. This could be because the diagnosis of pleural changes has a subjective element. Taking this into account, in the present work the maximum width of the pleura was used as an index of pleural changes. Study subjects were 134 asbestos workers of a brake manufacturing company who had received medical checks in 1978 and in 1990</abstract>
