For the most part in the U.S. doctors always advise against either smoking or drinking for general health. Yes, I know there are arguments that wine, etc is beneficial but that's just the general consensus here for good health. So no matter what you have, if you smoke or drink you'll be told you should stop as it will make "whatever you have" worse.
I've heard that smoking can make it harder to heal, but I do not know if that is true or if there is any evidence that supports it. It's obvious that smoking isn't good for your health and that drinking too much is also not good for your liver but doctors here really stress to avoid both. So since it's just a generic response to everything, I don't think it makes most things any better or worse just that you may have better overall health avoiding both.
(I used to smoke and will admit that I feel better since quitting (overall health, quitting didn't help any of my medical conditions that I noticed) and I have a drink every now and then but have never been much of a drinker)
