Yes, the smoking is a no, no when you have a stint or heart problems. The good news is that he survived and is improving.

From what I saw, he did seem more ike a stroke. But, he might have been medicated. Certainly he was alert, and able to communicate, but did not look ready to play a set of tennis.
