Parent who survived a heart attack

hi everyone, I need to talk about my situation hoping to get some insight. my mom was 52 when she had a heart attack. she got a stent put in her heart and is on heart meds and blood thinners now. it has been 4 years since her heart attack and she started smoking cigarettes not even a year after her heart attack and still does and she works a high stress job. Every time I see her she complains about her health and how stressed she is. It pains me to see her take no action over her own life and not change her lifestyle. this is going to sound terrible but I’m genuinely wondering what her life expectancy would be? please don’t slander me I am just trying to look at this situation as realistic as possible. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
