Your father may be right to some extent. Tobacco increases pulse rate temporarily. After quitting tobacco, he has regained his original pulse rate which is low. We have to search for the cause of the low pulse rate but tobacco chewing is not the treatment even it may cause serious adverse effects.

You may consult me online at Practo.
