The pilot, for example, showed John snuffing out a cigarette in an ashtray--which is already filled to the brim with them. The second episode has Constantine mention the difficulties of smoke-based divination with Chas cracking that he should be an expert, while in another scene Constantine is obviously smoking, but has his back to the camera. When he gets to his hotel room in the same episode, he takes out the pack and puts a cigarette in his mouth, only to be interrupted, so he puts it away.

** Chas has an active role in Constantine's good deeds and is fairly competent at helping out even besides his immortality. In the source material, he is more often then not simply roped into the insane things that go on around Constantine, often only to the extent of being press-ganged into being John's driver, and is ill-equipped to handle the supernatural. His wife Rene also gets an upgrade, going from extremely abrasive, controlling and rarely sympathetic to being generally unsupportive but understandably so, considering how things look from her perspective.

** One of the big complaints about the series by fans is John, himself, is this. His addiction to magic and meddling with forces mankind was not meant to know is downplayed to, instead, focus exclusively on the Newcastle Incident as his motivation. This version of John is TheAtoner and wants to make up for his crimes (as well as avoid damnation) versus the John who is a rebel without a cause. This isn't that far from some comic portrayals of John, albeit significantly LighterAndSofter.
