please get spirometry and you will get to know if yours lungs are greatly affected or not. although it takes years to develop effects of smoking but it is a good practice to keep getting checked regularly. Also whatever are your results, try to cut down on smoking gradually as it is not the best of practices for your health.

Smoking causes a variety of diseases which usually depends upon the amount of cigarettes u smoke per day and the duration of time u r smoking from. Something called "pack year".
For now u can do a plain chest X-ray PA view and show it to a qualified doctor. If he finds something wrong he can advise further tests. There r some diseases related to smoking which r not detected on an X-ray, but if u don't have a cough or shortness of breath, I would avoid doing any more tests.

smoking can damage lungs in many ways and can cause many conditions ranging from chronic bronchitis , Emphysema ( COPD) to , interstitial lung disease, Malignancy ( Cancer). So, the choice of investigation depends on the patient's symptoms/clinical condition. However , as a preliminary test I would recommend a CXR and Spirometry to assess the lungs function.These are simple and inexpensive.

There are several tests that can be used to check the function of the lungs and the damage caused by smoking. Some common tests include:

Spirometry: This test measures how well the lungs are able to move air in and out. It can identify lung conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.
Chest X-ray: A chest X-ray can show signs of damage to the lungs, such as emphysema or lung cancer.
CT scan: A CT scan can provide detailed images of the lungs and can identify abnormal growths or other signs of damage.

If indicated by the above tests, further tests may or may not consist of
Arterial blood gas test: This test measures the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood, which can indicate how well the lungs are functioning.
Bronchoscopy: This test involves inserting a small camera through the nose or mouth to examine the airways and lungs.
Pulmonary function test: This test includes spirometry, lung volume measurement, and gas diffusion capacity, to evaluate how well the lungs are working.
It's important to note that some of these test are invasive and others are non-invasive, and might have some risks or side effects. It's important to consult with a GP or Chest Physician to decide which test is the most appropriate one based on the your individual history and health condition.
