Answer 1

he probably has a mindset like " s***w it, im already old might as well enjoy myself while i can "... and wont quit.. thats how my step dad is

Answer 2

Keep telling him what the effects of smoking are going to do to him.

Find every cigarette in his house and throw it away, Everytime he buys some, remind him again of the effects and just throw them away.

Answer 3

He is the only one, and if he is not ready, then there is nothing you can do.  

If he is, have him talk to his doctor.  There are patches, meds, counseling.
