Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0xEJsrn. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Exposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, and the risk is significantly higher for smokers than for nonsmokers. More than 85% of radon-induced lung cancer deaths are among smokers. The most powerful approach for reducing the public health burden of radon is shaped by 2 overarching principles : public communication efforts that promote residential radon testing and remediation will be the most cost effective if they are primarily directed at current and former smokers ; and focusing on smoking prevention and cessation is the optimal strategy for reducing radon-induced lung cancer in terms of both public health gains and economic efficiency. Tobacco control policy is the most promising route to the public health goals of radon control policy.
