If he has been smoking that long, he may look healthy on the outside and be in real good shape, but I can only imagine what its doing to his lungs.
I think it probably wouldn't hurt you for bodybuilding, but there is no way it could help for any aerobic sport.
I have a friend who smokes an insane amout, and he does powerlifting, and is real strong, it doesn't take anything away from his lifts, but he can't run more than a few feet before losing his breath. He has been smoking for the last ~10 years.
