Smoking and heavy drinking is not good for anyone but particularly not helpful for someone with CHF.  Improving his ejection fraction is something he needs to discuss with his cardiologist. I know of people that have improved their EF but it usually takes a combination of medications and lifestyle changes to gradually bring it up. His EF will probably never be normal again but it might be improved.
