And thousands of supporting studies with mechanistic plausibility in cell culture, animals, and humans for over half a century. But fear mongering yeah
Actually, from memory the initial risks identified for meso/asbestos were even higher than lung cancer because it's otherwise so rare. I think some of the initial studies found RRs of 30+

Wasn't that also because of the additive effects of smoking? https://www.atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1164/rccm.201302-0257OC …

Seems so from this cohort "The joint effect of smoking and asbestos alone was additive (rate ratio = 14.4 [95% CI, 10.7–19.4]) and with asbestosis, supra-additive (rate ratio = 36.8 [95% CI, 30.1–45.0])."
