Still is, honestly. We still use asbestos in a ton of stuff, but we’re just generally a lot more careful about using it fortunately, and not doing as many open-air asbestos shoveling competitions upwind from the schoolyard.
Sure, I’m not saying it’s necessarily a good thing that we’re still using it, but recognizing and treating it as a serious carcinogen rather than something benign goes a long way to improving the amount of harm it causes
It’s not that hard to make and use PPE for the miners. Whether or not it’s enforced is another question, but with how easy asbestos lawsuits seem to be, they probably are.

Somebody still has to mine it though
That’s what orphans and monkey grinders are for
Hot take: I think it should the pensioners should mine asbestos because they’re dying soon anyway
