A 60-year-old woman who quit smoking 20 years earlier comes for a routine visit. She previously smoked one pack of cigarettes a day for 10 years. Her medical history is otherwise unremarkable. Her husband smoked one pack of cigarettes per day for at least 30 years but stopped smoking a decade ago. She asks whether she and her husband should undergo computed tomographic scanning to screen for lung cancer. What do you advise?
