This isn't about the kink. This is about randomly inserted moments that have nothing to do with the story. It's like a Joe Camel commercial.

Oh. You're one of those.

People who like consistent characterization that resembles canon? Yes.

With that argument you could say any character who doesn't have sex onscreen but does in fic isn't resembling canon.

Nice true, but nope, sorry.

You could. People do. They are correct. The movie contains no fucking. Fanfic often contains fucking. Fanfic doesn't resemble canon. SHOCKER.

It's dropped out of fashion because of cultural awareness of health etc., but smoking used to be an incredible way to highlight tension in a movie. Watch any movie with Humphrey Bogart...the point at which he pulls out a cigarette is always the point where tension ratchets up.

The film studios were also heavily funded by cigarette companies who had no restrictions on advertising and product placement back then. Smoking was encouraged by doctors then as a way to relax. Times changed.

Yes, but my point is that it's a really rich visual effect and has a lot of interesting connotations to put into a story.

Not really.

Convincing argument.

Yeah, really.
