My friend is smoking for the last 7 years and sometimes he is having pain near the right chest. Is that something to worry about his lungs?

Definitely it is a matter of concern as your friend is smoking since 7 years, he could have developed some lung pathology like bronchitis, tb.

If it is the lungs, there may be some concern. Even if it not concerned with the smoking, giving up is the best solution. Smoking has no benefits at all, period. So do not wait for some problem to crop up before you want to quit. It is not good and therefore quitting is the best solution.
