Post: Cigarette smoking and benzene exposure

Posted by Cherie on 12/10/09
I grew up 1.5 miles from a chemical plant who is know to be associated with benzene, then spent approx 17 years in the dry cleaning business where I was exposed to tons of chemicals. Now that I developed non hodgkin's lymphoma, I can't get compensation because I smoke? I know there is benzene in cigarette smoke, but if they know it causes this disease, WHY is it still in cigarettes?
