Help smokers quit: Tell them their "lung age" [PDF]
, 2008 Perform spirometry on patients who smoke -- even if they're asymptomatic -- and show them their lung age that is, the average age of a nonsmoker with a forced expiratory volume at 1 second (FEV1) equal to theirs. Doing so can help patients kick the habit.
