Firstly, `*` is the multiplication operator in R.  Secondly, you'll
need to convert your factors to numerics:

L<-0.559*as.numeric(T.Grade)-0.896*as.numeric(Smoking)+0.92*as.numeric(Sex)-1.338

Cheers,

Jeff.

Please take the time to study the subject matter, and note that a nomogram is
just a graphical method.  It is not a statistical model or a process.
