The influenza virus is not living any more than other viruses. It has no life processes.
What would H1N1 be called if it came back even more advanced?
The influenza viruses are identified by and given names that correspond with the proteins on the capsid of the virus (outside coating of the virus). For example, the two proteins on the H1N1/09 virus are Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase, therefore the virus is called H1N1.The name of any mutations of the H1N1/09 influenza virus, would follow this same naming convention and it would be called by the name that is descriptive of the particular proteins it has on the capsid after the mutation.See the related question below for more information on the naming of influenza viruses.

Can smoking give you influenza?
No, smoking tobacco (or anything else, honestly) won't give you influenza unless handling the unburned product before smoking it exposes you to viral particles recently deposited on them by an infected person. Once burning, flu viruses in or on the tobacco would be destroyed. Influenza virus is destroyed by heat at normal cooking temperatures [167-212°F (75-100°C)], and would be immediately destroyed at burning temperatures. However, smokers (of all sorts) are known to be more susceptible to infection, and severe infection, with influenza. This is because the inhaled substances tend to damage the cilia and lining of the respiratory tract, weakening the innate defenses of the lungs and making it more likely a viral infection such as influenza will set up shop.
