Historical accuracy? Piss off anti-smoking groups? Lucky star first episode but with cigarettes? Comparing the smoke of a cigarette to the dust clouds from an airplane taking off? Wanted to put a lot of something he loved into his last movie?
My opinion is that he just wanted to make people angry and didn't care if he put way too much of it in his movie. Miyazaki could make a montage of people breathing and he'd be hailed as a genius.

You should go to China some time.
Historical accuracy most likely. Did healthy people threw a tantrum about smoking characters?
