Brief Answer:
Possibility of CV stroke is more.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Sudden loss of movement of legs and body control are suggestive of CV (cerebro vascular) stroke. It is kind of paralysis attack in which blood supply of some part of brain is hampered.
Smokers are at higher risk of CV stroke.
So in my opinion, you should should immediately take her to emergency room an get done clinical examination and MRI of brain to rule out CV stroke.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.
