The correct way to write this sentence will be: I neither smoke nor drink. Two verbs and nouns are always placed between neither, nor. The first one comes after neither and the other after nor. ex. Neither Ram nor Shyam came to the party. He neither studies himself nor he lets me study.

Hi Shivam, both these sentences are wrong. The correct sentence is neither do I smoke nor do I drink.

"I neither smoke nor drink" is grammatically correct. A better way of phrasing this sentence is "Neither do I smoke nor do I drink".
