Rather than anything you take him for counseling first or you yourself sit with your father and talk to him about the diseases caused by tobacco and also down load few videos showing ill effect of tobacco in any form because there is no point in addicting him to other products like as you said above and making him leave habit
You need to motivate your father to avoid it first and slowly to stop it
Initially ask him to cut off the quantity wise and restrict the time too which will help to quit the habit

Hello, there are different forms of gum, patches, sprays, inhalers, or lozenges for nicotine replacement therapy.
Nicotine chewing gum is a treatment to help people stop smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine. These products do not contain many of the toxins found in smoke. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
So its effective 70%.
