Life is a process, not just a result. Those who do not smoke or drink will die. Unlike a smoker and a drinker, he will die not at 40, but at 90, and not as a result of long-term problems with the lungs and liver, but from a heart attack, and in the extra 50 years will see, feel and do much more than a long-dead drunk smoker. And what the universe and eternity think about this, it does not matter: we live for ourselves, not for them.
