Hi there. I can understand that a family member smoking can be a really stress issue. I would suggest going to a de-addiction center. They would put your father on certain medications that will help with the craving and going to a therapist can also help to break the cycle of dependence on smoking.
Next Steps
De-addiction centers can be very helpful

Decide a date. Say 60 days from now. Halve the number of cigarettes every 15 days. Replace them with nicotine lozenges.
Don't move to the next step unless u have mastered the previous one..
All the best

There is a medicine available in Ayurveda that helps.
But, it has to happen in tandem with a deaddiction counselling.
Visit the deaddiction counselor first.
Then turn to Ayurveda.
We can also take care of his withdrawal symptoms that begins after he slowly reduces smoking
