Lungs problem
My brother recently got lungs x ray done not due to any symptoms, but he has smoked regularly for 3 months
This is his report
Is this a serious problem? I am worried for him. If he doesn't smokes will it be fine? Also, he had a cough 1 month ago, which might also be the reason

He has probably acute bronhitis due to smoking habits. He should stop smoking, if symptoms subside then good .
