Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I am sorry, nobody can provide you time. Your father is not quitting smoking even after having a heart attack. That is really bad. You are right. Smoking increases the chances of heart attacks especially in people with history of cardiac arrest. Your father should quit smoking without further delay. You may try consulting the cardiologist again and appraise him of the situation. You may also contact a psychologist / psychiatrist for expert de-addiction advise and treatment.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
