They are very small-too small to biopsy. Often, these end up being inflammatory nodules that will go away; sometimes new ones will appear. If you are smoking, you should quit ASAP. These will need to be followed so you should probably be re-scanned in about 3 months or so. If they haven’t changed, then the scan occurs again 6 months later and then a year after that, if there are no changes.
