i could give you some insight having been a smoker for a super long time. Alcohol actually alters your state of mind, your balance, your mind's control over your senses, reflexes and bodily functions. You are not yourself and can also actually be a nuisance to others when high. Smoking does nothing of that sort it gives you a nicotine rush that relieves stress and is an addictive compound. You can have several a day and not be a nuisance to others (the smoke smell does not linger too long and a cordoned off area ensures that others are not exposed to second hand smoke). Smoking only harms you and not others, and you are also in control of your actions therefore you are yourself for he sake of the show. When you're drunk you cant really be fun to watch on the show, Smoking withdrawal can also be agitating therefore, if you cut people off their smokes it takes them a few months to recuperate. So you would just have a lot of medically agitated and anxious participants
