IT IS NOT A SPECIFIC CHANGE ON THE CHEST XRAY i MEAN NOT SPECIFIC OF ANY DISEASE BUT IT CAN BE A REFLECTION OF SMOKING BEING LOADING THE LUNGS

Strictly speaking it does not mean anything.
If you are asthmatic, the walls of your bronchi would become thickened and would give the appearance of increased markings in the lungs.If you are a smoker, you will get with time a chronic obstructive airways disease or chronic bronchitis where the walls of the bronchi become thick.That will be serious,and will lead to a severely debilitating and irreversible shortness of breath.
