Asthmatic and chain smoker

Question

Asked for Male, 23 Years

Hello, I've been asthmatic for over 15 years now. I've been taking Foracort 200 gor over 5 years now. In the last 5 years, I've never been admitted to hospital for breathing troubles which was quite frequent for the initial 10 years. Also, I started smoking 8-10 cigarettes a day five years ago. I want to know which kind of test should I take to get the result of my lung capacity and lung condition.
