ayrt

I agree that there are a lot more restrictions than there used to be (and I live in a country where smoking is banned in most public places) and I'm sure there are fewer smokers than 20 or 30 or 50 years ago. But I do think that the lack of cigarette ads, and the fact that fewer and fewer people smoke in movies/shows, can give a somewhat wrong impression that smoking is something incredibly rare these days. It's not. It may be more rare than it used to be, but it's still not exceptional. Literally HALF my colleagues at work take smoking breaks (and actually smoke, it's not just an excuse to go outside). Whenever I go out, I see people leaving bars and restaurants to smoke outside, people standing around in the street smoking before they go back in. It happens very often that people ask me (or others around me) for a cigarette or for a light. I completely agree that it's a bad addiction and a terrible habit, but there are still a LOT of smokers. So if it fits with the character, even in a modern-day setting, I really see nothing wrong with a fanfic author deciding to write that character as a smoker. Even today smoking is not something so incredibly rare and weird that you need a huge justification as to why a character would smoke.

It also depends on where you live - I've noticed that in a lot of European countriies smoking is very prevalent as compared to Canada and Australia and probably the US.

And anyway, whether a character smokes or not is just a headcanon. You don't have to go through hundreds of statistics analyzing the percentage of smokers in a particular area combined with race and gender and income level to figure out the chances of a particular character smoking. Making headcanons about characters is supposed to be fun.
