 I don't know if it's still a character point, but in the Claremont era,
Wolverine was a smoker, because, mutant healing, why not?

I don't know if this stuck, but at one point,
I think Wolverine told Kitty Pryde that he
no longer smoked and that "that has Jeannie
written all over it" - Jean Grey, powerful
telepath team member, presumably doesn't like
the smoke, and either deliberately made
Wolverine a non-smoker, or else involuntarily
radiated distaste from her mind to his.
