Brief Answer:
Get done PFT to know lung capacities.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your follow up question.

On chest x ray one cannot comment on lung capacities.
For this you need to get done PFT (pulmonary function test). For this you need to consult pulmonologist.
And it’s good that you are on the way to quit smoking.
