NO, A LOT OF STUDIES FOUND THAT DECREASE INCIDENCE OF COVID-19 AMONG SMOKERS BUT IF THEY ALREADY INFECTED THEY BECOME WORSE.
Gut microorganisms which are naturally found in the body are essential in fighting off infections. Drinking alcohol can affect these organisms, which then makes it easier for pathogenic invaders to cross into the bloodstream and cause an infection. Binge drinking has also been known to reduce the presence of certain white blood cells, which play a significant role in the immune system in fighting off infections.
From the following website, which is entitled:

Never it will, because smoking and drinking always degenerates our body's protectionisms or self-defence. In addition to this, it has been proved through various studies.
Alcohol will rather compromise the immune system and leaves the body vulnerable
Alcohol in limited quantity will help to control corona virus. But smoking will aid to increase. All sanitizers have alcohol and is recommended. Hence alcohol intake may control corona virus in body.

Risk factors that can contribute excess in morbidity and mortality of COVID-19
Alcohol is known to be harmful to health in general, and is well understood to increase the risk of injury and violence, including intimate partner violence, and can cause alcohol poisoning. At times of lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, alcohol consumption can exacerbate health vulnerability, risk-taking behaviours, mental health issues and violence. WHO/Europe reminds people that drinking alcohol does not protect them from COVID-19, and encourages governments to enforce measures which limit alcohol consumption.

Well it depends, how much the virus is drunk or addicted to alcohol or smoking :D
Smoking is associated with increased severity of disease and death in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Although likely related to severity, there is no evidence to quantify the risk to smokers of hospitalization with COVID-19 or of infection by SARS-CoV-2 was found in the peer-reviewed literature. Population-based studies are needed to address these questions. Details are there in the link
