Ian Fleming created Bond as a smoker, was it right to change him to a non smoker?

[cludiabond]

Recently Bond has become a non smoker, what I want to find out is do people care that Ian Fleming made a character and people have manipulated his idea into something that could be perceived as no longer being "James Bond"?

[whifffey]

He will always be a smoker, it's just that he won't be allowed to smoke on screen. He doesn't refuse cigarettes in films does he? The subject just never comes up.

[joggerjayne]

Bond should smoke.

His need to smoke and drink is a reflection of the tension inherent in his way of life, and his need to find an outlet for that tension.

He'd look a bit conspicuous with worry beads, or a nicotine patch.

Everyone should stop giving smokers a hard time, ffs.

How does that work?

Do you put it on their tummies, and sniff it off?
