There are some related tips, but I did not find any one as this.
The sentence:
1) he considers himself a healthy person because he does some sport and neither smokes, drinks nor takes drugs
According the Cambridge Dictionary website (http://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/neither-neither-nor-and-not-either), I suppose that it would be something as follows:
2) he considers himself a healthy person because he does some sport and he does not smoke, drink nor does he take drugs.
I was thinking about these other options:
3) he considers himself a healthy person because he does some sport, does not smoke or drink, neither does he take drugs.
4) he considers himself a healthy person because he does some sport, and he does not smoke or drink, neither does he take drugs.
I have no idea which one is correct or sounds better.
EDIT
Thank you everybody!
Now I am clear with it.
Answer
Number 1 actually looks OK.
In #2, “smoke, drink” s/b “smoke or drink”
In #3, there should be “and” after “sport, “
In #4, it might be better with a semicolon after “sport” rather than a comma, but it’s fine as-is.
BTW: in AmE, one would not literally say “he does some sport”; we would say “he participates in a sport”, or “he plays {handball/hockey/whatever}”, or—if more than one—”he does some sports”
