Hello,
I understand your concern
Medicines for epilepsy need to be taken regularly because skipping the medication can lead to generalized seizures or status epilepticus.
And he need to quit smoking and drinking alcohol.
Smoking is a strong risk factor for stroke (blood clots) in brain and Alcohol can lead to sever interactions with antiepileptic medications.
I advise you to counsel your husband regarding strict adhearance to medicines and quit alcohol and smoking. For that you can take help of a psychiatrist too.
I find this answer helpful
