Risks are very high, but some people you just can’t convince, or if they’re convinced, they just rationalise it.
A friend of mine has had 7 bypasses and has also retaken up smoking.

Does she have a death wish? Smoking is a leading contributor to heart and lung disease, she has been given an extension of life with her cardiac surgery, pity she does not appreciate it. Nicotine changes blood flow through the small capillaries, the other crap in cigarettes fills your lungs destroying the cilia (hairs) that sweep foreign particles from your airways.
