Hello ! thanks for posting your query . You can get a Chest x ray and Pulmonary Function Test (Spirometry) done to check the condition of your lungs . These tests will give a decent idea on how well your lungs are working and whether they have got affected due to your habit and to what extent . Would suggest that you stop your habit at the earliest and continue to stay in good health. best wishes.
