John- Check this chart out it might help you find a preliminary answer. There is a lung cancer meme that says that if you have a lung, you can get lung cancer. If you smoke you have a better chance. But not everyone gets cancer.

For how long did you smoke? Did you quit 10 years ago?

I quit smoking 20 years ago, and just had a lung cancer removed, fortunately identified early. I started smoking late in life, smoked 10-15 a day for about 34 years

Good morning John- I'm wondering how you are and if you have found out more information about your lesion?
