Definitely in the minority here, but I don't think that smoking is that out of character. It's a plausible bad habit to have for an ex street urchin bad girl "fighting through the streets" AND it's definitely a plausible bad habit to pick up in ten years of living in a very stressful environment without having access to healthier forms of relaxation like, uh, genuine friendship or sex (or days off). Actually the latter is more likely, considering the line "thought I quit these for good" only popping up now that she's back in that same environment. Not unreasonable to try and drop a bad habit when you think that you escaped and started a new life. And why would she talk about it before? Do you disclose all your former bad habits to your friends, especially if you quit before you met said friends? Unless they're like, puffing smoke in your face and make you want to relapse, that is.

Now, yes, it's clearly added in later for the sake of the campy cool factor, seeing as we don't ever see a cigar or hear it be mentioned as a concept in the whole entire game prior to that, but generally I disagree that it's OOC as is.

Even so, however, you know what would be GREAT? Being able to do something so that she DOESN'T have to go back to a stressful environment that makes her want to relapse a bad habit--
