“in accord with the great weight of authority from other jurisdictions”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“These cases have dealt specifically with the analytical and testimonial difficulties inherent in determining compensability of diseases caused by the combined effect of smoking and work-related exposures to dust, asbestos, radiation, and various toxic fumes.... The majority rule in states with a statutory scheme similar to New Mexico’s allows compensation without a showing that work-related exposures were the predominant cause of the disease or death.”
