Based on the information his pain is non-cardiac. It is related to his chest/lungs. He should visit his Local GP. If not possible then he can take over the counter medicines available in nearby pharmacy; Ibuprofen and any cough syp. ( local pharmacist will be helpful )

He has quitted smoking. No, there is no positive cardiac history in his family. He is not diabetic. The pain is pin pointing. It lasts for few minutes. After sometimes it reoccurs and then it becomes difficult for him to breath.
