Well, Food Stamps as actual physical things you can sell stopped existing about 25 years ago. Clinton had the states phase them out. If someone sells you a SNAP card, they can just turn around and report it stolen... Defeating the whole purpose of selling the card.
The main real SNAP fraud that still happens is in rural religious communities, think break away Mormons. They are required by their religion to give their SNAP cards to the religion, which runs a grocery store. They do get food out of the deal, but at inflated prices. And in general, they are lying about not having a father in the picture, it is just that the father has several wives.
These groups would rarely drink beer or smoke cigarettes. There would be no soup kitchen for these people to eat at.
