AITA for donating an organ while I am still alive?

Definitely NTA! If you want to donate a kidney please do so, you will save a life! First you will have to undergo some exams so that you'll know if you don't have any conditions that may stop you from being a donor, may it be that your body can't handle the loss of a kidney (unlikely) or that you have or have had some sort of disease that makes your kidney not suitable for donation. I don't know how these things work in the US or other countries but the whole process will probably be free of cost.

The process of getting an organ transplant is very tiring and stressing for the patient, because they're most likely in a life threatening situation and it's not easy to find many organ donor and, that match with the patient's organism or not.

Your smoking and drinking habits probably only make your lungs and liver not suitable but you wouldn't be able to donate these while you're still alive anyways.
