Absolutely, but it will take some time. You may even get up to your 40s and 50s with the worst diet.
This list is more a quick KYS type activities.

Letting yourself get obese should be up there.
For the overall morbidity, 100%. But for a "Quick" way to cut down your life, it didn't make the list for me.
I know a fat frick who was 300lbs at around 5'10 most of his 20s, early 30s. Now he is 40 and he's like 450lbs and still alive somehow. He can still walk but it's a struggle. He did quit smoking weed probably cause his lungs weren't coping.

From personal experience, accidentally cancelling all 10 of your friend group’s airline flights the night before we were supposed to leave for a vacation in Idaho is very high on the list. My wife and I had something come up with one of our kids, so I was trying to cancel our two flights. It was a terrible weather day and the whole system was screwed up and I couldn’t get a person on the phone at Delta. It kept giving me the option to do it on their automated system, so I did it. Unfortunately, all out tickets were on one group booking, so it cancelled all of the flights. As was the initial problem, I couldn’t get anyone on the phone to fix my screw-up, so I drove to the closest airport with a Delta counter (an hour away), but it was already closed for the night. Fortunately, some airport manager walked by that was able to give me some special number for Delta that got me immediately to a person. They were able to get the other 8 people rebooked, but seats were no longer together and the connection in Salt Lake City was much later than originally. I am certain that 3-4 hours has shortened my lifespan by at least 10 years.
Also have a teenager that had to have two open heart surgeries in 2017. That didn’t add any years either.

Here’s a picture of Keith Richards in Africa proving at least 4 of these wrong simultaneously.

I shouldn't be alive.
Which leads me to firmly believe there is a God.

Not wearing a seatbelt is at the tippy top of the list. It's one of the absolute lowest effort/ least invasive preventative steps one can take and is proven to increase your odds of survival in an accident immeasurably, yet so many people act like the 2 seconds of energy it takes to put one on is a akin to climbing Everest or swimming the English Channel.

By jumping fences at local attractions.
Jump the fence at a zoo to try and pet the big cats.
Jump the fence at Six Flags to get a closer look at that moving roller coaster.
Jump the fence at Sea World after closing, so you can swim with an Orca.

I've gone on two safaris in Africa. Hardly life threatening, man, as long as you stay at the high-end camps in the stable regions and follow basic rules of common sense. Now if you decide to go wandering around the eastern Congo, or South Sudan, or Somalia or somesuch, you are an idiot.

Alcohol will kill you much faster if you drink enough than smoking, I have had several patients in their early to mid 40’s dying from cirrhosis compared to lung cancer, COPD, or emphysema
