Given there are some abnormalities I think have a check-up with a cardiologist could help put your mind at ease, or find out what needs to be done.

Congratulations on stopping smoking, much of the damage is reversible, but it will take more years of no smoking.  That alone may resolve the EKG issues in your favor.

Given your doctor's advise, if it were me and I didn't have health insurance I'd most likely not go to see a cardiologist, but that's me, not necessarily the right answer/advice.
