Are smokers and alcohol consumers also targeted by these social credit type measures in those states ?

Less drastically, a lot of places are putting heavy restrictions on smoking, and there are heavy taxes on tobacco and alcohol (arguably those taxes contribute to paying for tobacco and alcohol related health problems.)

Yes, cigarettes and alcohol are taxed specifically by the state.

We are talking about much more alienating restrictions here.
