Did he use to smoke roll ups or "industrial" cigarettes ? if its the latter, as for equipment, look for a manual cigarette making machine like this. And buy tubes to go with it like this. Plop your grinded blend into the machine, push the lever, you get a cigarette. Buying both should set you back about 20$, if that.

If you're going for roll-ups, you might try this contraption; I dislike it but one of my friend hates rolling and she swears by it.

Also if it smokes like ass it might be the blend; either its composition or it being too powdery / grinded too fine (or even too dry - you want some moisture there). For the composition I won't be able to help much there, though I did do blends using blue lotus (Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea) along with mint on rare occasions in the past as a carrier for other stuff, and the lotus made for a pleasant smoke - be aware it's supposedly a sedative; if it is, it's an extremely mild one though, at least when smoked.

Finally, I'm sure you're aware but cigarette addiction is as much if not more the ritual / habit itself as the actual chemical addiction to nicotine; you're getting rid of the latter (which is good) but in terms of health the incomplete combustion products from those blends will likely be just as carcinogenic as cigarette smoke.
