Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. This is usually not indicating some serious disease, but you need to do pulmonologist work up to rule out bronchitis, emphysema or pneumonia. You should do X-rays and ventilatory tests. You need to stop smoking if you do it and avoid smoky areas. If you notice pain in chest or fever you should see doctor asap. Thanks for the query. Wish you good health. Regards
