I agree. If the series is good/entertaining, I don't care if the character deviates in unimportant ways from the comics source, and smoking seems to me unimportant, unless the character shoots laser rays from his cigarettes?
He's a chain smoker, it's part of his 'image'. It would be like harry potter wearing contact lenses to have Constantine be a non-smoker. Also, the lung cancer story-line in the comics is pretty crucial to his existence and provides the reason for the way he is in a lot of respects. So it's a classic case of losing many of the core fans before you've even gained the fickle masses. One of the normal and classic problems of adaptations across all mediums.
