Generally non-readable code is a bad practice. The single line is more efficient in your typing and saves line numbers but come back to it a year from now or while you're scanning for bugs and it'll make it more difficult.

In my opinion, yes it's bad practice to have single line if statements.

The computer doesn't really care (as far as I can tell) but you should always write your code like it's going to be maintained by a serial killer that knows where you live.

Readable! Easily self-discernable.
