10 Anime Girls Who Smoke (A Lot)

In anime, smoking is often used to highlight a character’s cool, laid-back, or even rebellious nature. After last week’s article about anime girls who love to eat, we have another classic trope that’s been around for years, especially with characters from the ’90s. Back then, cigarettes were considered stylish and edgy, making them a common accessory for many iconic characters.

While smoking is unhealthy and not recommended, here’s a list of anime girls who are known for their love of cigarettes:

1. Revy (Black Lagoon)

Revy is tough and always ready for a fight. She doesn’t care about what others think and just goes after what she wants. Smoking fits her personality because it shows how calm and collected she can be, even in dangerous situations.

Underneath that tough exterior, though, she has a lot going on. Her past and struggles are hidden behind the strong, hard-to-crack surface. Even though she’s not the type to show her feelings, people can’t help but be drawn to her because of her raw, real personality.

2. Balalaika (FMA)

Balalaika is the kind of character who commands respect just by walking into a room. She’s a mafia boss who stays cool no matter what’s going on around her. Smoking only adds to her strong, serious vibe.

Balalaika’s not the type to get easily shaken, and that makes her an incredibly powerful villain. She knows exactly what she’s doing and doesn’t let anyone mess with her. Even though she doesn’t smile often, people admire her because of how well she handles everything with confidence and strength.

3. Nana Osaki (Nana)

Nana Osaki is a punk rock singer with a lot of attitude. She comes across as confident and tough, but there’s more to her than meets the eye. Smoking is part of her defiant side, giving off a cool, “don’t care” vibe.

However, as the story goes on, you realize that Nana’s dealing with some emotional pain and loss, which makes her more relatable. She’s not just the tough, punk girl—she’s a woman with a complicated heart, and that’s what makes her so interesting.

4. Faye Valentine (Cowboy Bebop)

A bounty hunter with a sharp mind and a sharp tongue, Faye is independent and loves her freedom, but she also has a troubled past that follows her. Smoking is part of her carefree attitude, a way for her to deal with the stress of being on the run.

While she acts tough, there’s a part of her that’s lost and trying to figure things out. Faye’s character is complex because she’s not just about being tough—she’s also dealing with loneliness and longing, making her story much deeper.

5. Misato Katsuragi (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

Misato is laid-back and easygoing but also has a lot of responsibility on her shoulders. She works hard to keep everything running smoothly, even though it’s clear she has her own struggles. Smoking is something she does when things get intense or stressful, which just shows how she handles pressure in her own way.

Despite her casual attitude, Misato also deals with emotional challenges and personal demons, making her character more layered than just being the “cool girl” in charge.

6. Integra (Hellsing)

How could we forget Integra, the cool-headed leader of the Hellsing Organization? With her serious, no-nonsense vibe, she commands respect from the start. Her smoking fits perfectly with her calm and commanding presence, making it look like she’s always handling everything effortlessly.

Integra doesn’t lose her cool easily, and that’s what makes her such a strong character. But even though she’s tough and strong, you can see the weight of leadership on her shoulders. After all, she’s not just about power—she’s about responsibility.

7. Aozaki Touko (The Garden of Sinners: The Hollow Shrine)

Touko might look like just a puppet maker, but she’s actually an incredibly strong sorceress. She runs a detective agency called Garan no Dou with Kokutou Mikiya, where they handle cases involving supernatural or strange things.

Touko is a powerful Magus who can create body parts that look and work exactly like the real thing. She has 20 Magic Circuits, a lot more than most of her family, who have fewer as time goes on. And of course, she’s often seen smoking, adding to her cool and aloof persona.

8. Michiko (Michiko & Hatchin)

Michiko is a wild, free-spirited woman who loves living life on her own terms. She’s always doing things her way, whether it’s running from the law or taking on crazy adventures. Her character was clearly written with smoking as a typical trope to highlight her rebellious, carefree vibe, showing that she doesn’t care what others think.

Even though she’s fun and bold, she’s also loyal to Hatchin, a young girl taken in by her, and willing to do whatever it takes to protect her. Michiko’s the kind of character who doesn’t follow the rules, but that’s part of what makes her so memorable and fun to watch.

9. Shion Karanomori (Psycho-Pass)

Shion works in the Public Safety Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Division, where she helps gather info and supports field agents. Though she’s glamorous and stylish, she often comes off as lazy and doesn’t like how much the Bureau makes her work. She has a bit of a rebellious side, which often comes out in moments when she’s seen smoking.

Despite her laid-back attitude, Shion is serious and skilled when it comes to her job. She knows her stuff and is always ready to help with investigations. She’s also pretty sympathetic and loves teasing others, which adds some fun moments to the otherwise dark and intense story.

10. Baby 5 (One Piece)

Those unassuming would probably not expect someone as sweet and awkward to smoke, but as a character who often struggles with her feelings, she smokes when she’s nervous.

Over time, Baby 5 becomes a loyal character. She’s not just a cute, shy character—she has way more depth than meets the eye. Her character is a mix of toughness and vulnerability, and that balance makes her stand out in the series.
