I find that most of the time lately, when there is a character who smokes, it is a sort of trope, as the author almost always places that character into one of two categories: The "bad-boy/girl" type, or the "nervous wreck" type. I rarely see any other type of character in which their smoking habits are explicitly stated. I guess you could say that, characters who smoke have become a stereotype of sorts in contemporary literature.
Has anyone else witnessed this phenomena, or is it just me?
