hi
as such smoking is itself the cause for your cardiac problems.
please stop smoking as much as possible, as this itself can cause the stents for going into block & failure.
your will power is very important to quit smoking
you can take the help of a psychiatrist for a good counselling on quitting of smoking.
take care
