I have heard that a granuloma in the lung is common but should be watched for awhile. I"m sure smoking doesn't help it. I have been trying to quit myself and smoked since I was a teenager, but I would think you probably have been told that already.
Go to google and put in granuloma in lung and you can probably find different topics on it.
Good luck,
Dakota
