Like a 13 year old behind the bike sheds but she's 80 and on telly. Tragic really

Because I don't think you're using it correctly at all.
Are all addictions affectations?

Even when she gave up smoking for a period. Presumably she thinks it makes her look rebellious or something.

I suppose it's part of her branding. Like Dali's moustache or Grayson Perry's gingham and pigtails.

Is clearly in his late 30s but smokes like a teenage girl.
Smokers are wankers anyway, but he's spunking over a tenner a day on a ludicrous affectation which nobody should be impressed by.

And the Britten shell on the beach.
But that recent Wollstonecraft / emancipation statue really wasn’t very good.

But she is an oil painter so I'm not sure why she gets all these big sculptural commissions. It's like when Damien Hirst had a crack at figurative painting or Tracy Emin trying to draw. Terrible

But having the “spirit” of Wilde rising from the tomb, created by his fag seemed a good one - Until everyone kept nicking it, so it had to be removed. But I’m not sure you could sculpt a better face from “smoke” (I’d call it her motif rather than an affectation though)
And Hirst and Emin aren’t in the same league - they are just simply chancers that got insanely lucky, in my opinion. (Edited slightly)

With one of the “other Mona Lisas” featured on it, which I think is a nicer picture with more depth. (and not counting all the ones in that Doctor Who story)
