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

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"?

Aww, thanks bazzy.

I try to be pretty jolly, most of the time.

I was a bit gwumpy last week, coz I had a sniffly cold, and I couldn't run or go to the gym. It was horrid.

[craft1948]

think how I feel all the time......I can't run or go to the gym full stop............it would bloody kill me

[joggerjayne]

Aww, craft ... that must be frustrating

I've just disagreed with you about Hazel Blears.

isn't strange that James Bond is no longer allowed to smoke but can continue to kill ?
