Evidence of Benefit 1

Added text 2 to state that in a randomized controlled lung cancer screening trial in Denmark, all current smokers enrolled in the trial received a minimal smoking cessation intervention; however, after 1 year of follow-up, comparable quit rates were observed in the screened and unscreened groups (cited Ashraf et al. as reference 33).
