If it's Ginko, yes. If it's anyone else, no.

Characters in general smoking doesn't bother me, but if it beats you over the head with its DEEP SYMBOLISM I find it at times overplayed and a bit trite

If the rest of the story lacks any sort of maturity or nuance, it can come off as like a little girl wearing her mother's too-big high heels to try and feel more like an adult. Clumsy and goofy, you know the imagery and feeling that she's trying to get across, but in context with the rest of the picture, she looks like she's wearing clown shoes.

"I'm a real writer! My characters are mature! This story is deep! Conflict! Uh.. did I mention mature? Brooding! Deep themes! Maturity!"



Observe the slow, exaggerated movements. The squinted eyes, pained expression. The passionate expressive head tilts. This isn't just a shitty show about yelling swear words and shooting. This is art. Just look at how deep it is. Smoking.

It depends on the character - with kogami shinya it worked for me.

Smoking cigarettes doesn't really affect coolness. Smoking a pipe is badass though.

Smoking is the definition of cool. Even tho I condemn it, I have to admit that it does make you cooler.

Smoking certainly makes my kind of women in anime, the ass kickers sexy...
tsukyo looks damn hot smoking her kiseru,chequita will look fantastic smoking a cigar, revy looks ever cooler smoking, hizuru would even more sexy and as would Maki...

But I don't like the smell and the smoke... ๐Ÿ˜ญ

when I was younger I thought tat smoking looked cool, but now as an adult I don't feel very cool when I smoke. Not being able to quit kind of sucks actually.

If that were the case, then Revy would be in my top 10.

No. 

Some characters can be irritating or uncool.

Not usually, I grew up around smokers and I never thought it was all that cool. Notable exceptions would be Solid Snake and Big Boss from Metal Gear.

This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes

Smelling rancid and having breath like you've just eaten a turd is not cool.

Yes, I think so. I have noticed Adam in Sk8 the Infinity and Megumo in Cyber Formula and smoking make them cooler. It's cool in anime.

Not at all, it makes them uncool instead.
