Brief Answer:
Chocolate no problem

Detailed Answer:
Dear Patient,

I am assuming:

from too much caffeine and nicotine his fingers might have been shaking?

So it is wise to slowly reduce nicotine and caffeine. Chocolate in small amounts is usually no problem. He should also avoid excessive use of alcohol and other drugs, since all that may affect his ability to worl safely.

Best regards
