I've never heard a reason given. But Henry was put on notice about drugs by Paulie, maybe it was just a matter of time. Jimmy was probably going to kill him anyway over the Lufthansa heist like he did everyone else.

Jimmy pulled in a ton of money, so maybe Paul was willing to overlook it in his case. Paul died in prison and never said a word, so we can only guess at his motives. Maybe he was just a sentimental bastard about those two.
