If they're smoking and boozing that hard, doesn't it seem kind of likely that they'll be dead in 5 years?

That would be an extreme case.

At the risk of stating the obvious, the reasoning for that sort of self-destructive lifestyle doesn't make sense on 2 fronts. First, living an extremely unhealthy lifestyle will of course shorten your life, exacerbating the tragedy that life is short / YOLO. Second, it will significantly degrade your quality of life during that time.

It takes a surprising amount of effort to kill a human body through these drugs. It's how their abuse got so popular in the first place, since their damage only becomes really apparent over decades of excess.
