They've gone waaayyyy overboard with the smoking thing IMO. I'm not a smoker but a lot of my friends and favorite characters smoke, and the last time I checked they weren't going around and randomly killing people.

Sephiroth killed hundreds, if not thousands, of people and I never seen him touch a cigarette. What does that tell you?

Wow, I just realized I really need sleep! I'm getting all worked-up about fictional characters smoking habits! lol XD!!
