Hi,
It appears that your father is suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as a result of years of smoking. He should consult a doctor and get some tests done, especially a chest x-ray and lung function tests. He will need medicines and he should also make a serious effort to quit smoking.
Best wishes.
