Pleural thickening

I recently underwent a chest xray and this is what it came out. "Blunting of the bilateral costophrenic angles, more on the left with calcification along the diaphragmatic aspect of left pleura- most likely to represent pleural thickening." Can someone please suggest as I am getting worried. I've had covid history with pneumonia two years ago.

Recovery from TB

I was diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia with Tuberculosis since January '23. I have completed 6 months medicines courses for treatment of Tuberculosis as prescribed by doctor . Now I have been completely cured as declared by doctor based on last chest x ray showed very good resolution and other routine blood test showed all parameters are controlled. Now doctor said no restrictions is there and can lead normal life . May I have one question is that smoking is directly related for cause of TB. Though I am not chain smoker, but if I take one cigarette daily will be serious issues? . Because completely  quiting of smoking will create mental trauma that I realized . Please clear  the issues.
