People who smoke are real. There no denying that even with women.
I'm scouting for some manga where some leading women do smoke.
This is not a health issue. I'm trying to look for some realistic heroine characters with real habits.

I already know of:
BLACK LAGOON
KIMI WA PETTO

Any other suggestions I do not know about?

Hellsing - Integra
Xxxholic - Yuuko (although I wouldn't describe her with the word 'realistic')
Monster - Eva

Nana - Osaki Nana

Hataraki Man--- main character. mostly realistic.
Cowboy Bebop--- Faye. She's almost the only female, and its not realistic. As Black Lagoon isnt either, i thought of recommending it (Animes better)

Give a man fire, and he will be warm for a day, set a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life.

They, Too, Love - realistic, yet unrealistic at the same time

Mana - like a chimney

Ningyo Ouji - main character in the first story

Ichigo Mashimaro, though I don't know if you can call it realistic 😐
