I don't believe Thomas Paine believed vice was a natural right of man. He was also very pro-federalist, and against people identifying with their States in preference to identifying with the United States of America.

"Natural rights are those which appertain to man in right of his existence. Of this kind are all the intellectual rights, or rights of the mind, and also all those rights of acting as an individual for his own comfort and happiness, which are not injurious to the natural rights of others." --Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1791.
