compound sentence

Hi

Please help me with this:

It is about compound sentence. When I see the second sentence I understand it is a compound sentence, but I have the doubt with the first one. It is because in the second I see two independent clauses and in the first I do not. Should I see the first as the second?

He neither smokes nor drinks.

Neither does he smoke nor does he drink.
