You're absolutely correct about his smoking and drinking habits possibly making his disease much worse. Hepatitis C is very hard on the liver - it can cause cirrhosis of the liver and even death. Since both smoking and drinking damage the liver - doing those with hep C just makes things worse. Check out the paper below on smoking and drinking and hepatitis C.

Hopefully you can get your husband to stop or at least cut back his smoking and drinking.
Good luck.
