English term or phrase: 20-pack year history
David is a 42 year old ex-smoker (20-pack year history) with frequent cough & exertional dyspnea on chores and exercise.

I suppose 20 pack refers to the 20 cigarettes in a pack but I don´t know if that means he has smoked 20 per day during one year

Spanish translation:historia de 20 paquetes/año
Explanation:

Paquetes/año o carga tabáquica (pack/año): Estimación de la relación dosis/respuesta. Medición de lo fumado para su correlación con el riesgo de desarrollar enfermedades por consumo de tabaco (más alta a mayor índice paquetes/año). Un paquete/año equivale a 365 paquetes de 20 cigarrillos (paquetes/ año = paquetes de 20 fumados por día) x (años de fumador). Por ejemplo, un paquete/año es igual a fumar 20 cigarrillos al día durante 1 año o 40 cigarrillos por día durante medio año.

Índice Paquetes/Año (IPA).

Smoking Pack Years

This calculator helps to produce a numerical value of lifetime tobacco exposure called pack years. A pack year is defined as twenty cigarettes smoked everyday for one year. People who smoke often vary their smoking habits over the years which can make it difficult to create a pack score. This smoking pack year calculator simplifies the task.

20 cajetillas anuales (de 20 cigarillos cada una, unos 400 cigarillos al año, poco mas de uno en promedio diario).

agree  Daniel Delgado: Debe expresarse con "-" en lugar de "/". La grafía (y aproximadamente el concepto) es la de "vatio-hora" o "watt-hora": https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatio-hora , erroneamente expresado a veces como "vatio/hora"!!
