Honestly, I think one of the major differences between smoking in fiction and smoking in real life is that in fiction we're rarely given a sense that it's truly an addiction. Like, yes, characters smoke, but only occasionally and often for dramatic purpose. Or they're smoking because they're stressed out, or they're smoking because they're sad, or whatever.

Whereas in real life, smokers smoke because they're addicted. They get antsy and sometimes angry and they can't focus well if they don't get to smoke at regular intervals. They duck out of movies to smoke. They smoke when they first get up in the morning. A smoker's antsy need to smoke is about as dignified as doing the pee dance because you need to pee. Smoking is expensive, and mundane, and most of the time it says very little about who they are as a person. They're not more jaded or gutsy or nihilistic or sad or lonely or alienated than non-smokers, they just gave smoking a go when they were young and got hooked.

All this said, I totally agree that smoking looks hella cool in fiction.
