smoking and vitamin C

is is bad for anyone to take vitamin C when one is smoking?i have read somewhere that it is. i am thinking og giving my brother (who smokes) vitamin C for his immune system. he has a very busy and toxic lifestyle having to go to school in the morning around 8am and going to the hospital (for his internship) until 11pm.

what vitamins should he take?

Vitamin C is not the problem here; the problem is the smoking.  The best he can do is eat a well-balanced, wholesome diet, exercise properly, and stop smoking.  The vitamin C will not be a factor in any of this.
