Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Chronic smoking can lead to cardiac problem, damage to lungs and increase acid secretion. Increase acid production and damage to lung can cause blood in cough and sputum. X Ray chest can not predict site of bleeding. To know it, investigations like Bronchosopy and upper GI endoscopy are helpful.
For treatment quit smoking and then remain abstinent from smoking. If you are not able to stop smoking yourself, then for deaddiction you can meet nearby psychiatrist.
Wishing you good health and all the best.
