Hello,
Probably just chronic lung disease from smoking. The "progression" can mean many things, so in order to make a diagnosis, a lung specialist will probably do a bronchoscopy of your lungs and/or a biopsy of the nodule.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Anders Mark Christensen, General Surgeon
