Hi There
After going through the medical details provided by you I would like to tell you that it's not at all a good thing to continue smoking and drinking after having a major heart attack and stenting.
If he doesn't stop smoking his stent can be blocked anytime causing another heart attack.
So better avoid it
I wish him good health
