This is really a subjective answer. If given the choice to either give the lung to a six-year old lung cancer patient or the heavy smoker, I would choose the six-year old.

If I had to choose between car crash victim on a lung machine or the heavy smoker, I would choose the car crash victim.

If I had to choose between this heavy smoker and a young smoker that developed lung cancer, I would choose the young smoker and hope that he/she would change his/her habits and quit.

I bet you're starting to see the point I'm making. Hope this helps!
