He takes great pride in and always talks about how his mind is as sharp today as it was fifty years ago. This might convince him to quit. I have to let my father see this.

Would the damage already be done and irreversible or would quitting now mean any type of reversal?

I wonder if anyone does talk therapy for kicking the nicotine habit...
