A, B, and C

When you list three different things you write 'A,B, and C'. Right?
But, what would you do if one of them has a negative meaning? What would be the right conjunction?

Eg)
I don't drink alcohol, don't smoke but do jogging every day.
I eat a lot of fruits and veggies and don't drink alcohol or smoke.
I do jogging every day, but not drink alcohol nor smoke.

Can you please fix those if wrong? Thanks.

When you list three different things you write 'A,B, and C'. Right? Many people would only put a comma after C if the items in the list are very wordy.
But, what would you do if one of them has a negative meaning? What would be the right conjunction?

Eg)
I don't drink alcohol, don't smoke but do jogging every day.
