Hi, you can try by talking to your father when both of you are calm. Explain to him how smoking is injurious to his health and how seeing him smoke affects you. Tell him how much you love him and thus you don't want him to get ill - something that smoking will eventually cause. Talk calmly and be supportive. Also, understand that smoking is like an addiction that will take time to get rid of. Encourage him to take small steps like weaning off of smoking, that is, reducing the number of cigarettes slowly over a period of time. You can also take the help of a psychologist to help your father. All the best!
