Short answer? Yes!: Atherosclerosis is a risk factor for aneurysm development as well as stroke. Tobacco use , particularly in the form of cigarette smoking, definitely accelerates atherosclerotic disease. So smoking would put you at increased risk over the long term. Not smoking and controlling your weight are probably the two most important things you can do for your cardiovascular health.

Yes: As a 50 year old, it is very likely for you to have another stroke if you don't drastically improve your lifestyle for the better.

It can: Smoking is a major risk factor for aneurysm rupture. You should not start smoking again. If you do not drink, do not start, if you drink small amounts (no more than 1 drink per day) it is probably ok.
