I've seen the very real consequences of smoking and watched people unable to walk up a single set of stairs because they can't breathe. It's horrifying. If ya'll want to screw up your life with that stuff by all means, but don't come at me saying it's not realistic because you never seen the consequences yourself. Educate yourself please.

I definitely didn't hear about either of those, but my first question is... why was a teenager smoking a vape in the first place. There are age restrictions on things for a reason. Secondly, using the "vape exploded" argument is the same as saying that people shouldn't use cellphones because the Samsung Galaxy 8 exploded that one time. People who smoke are fully aware of the damage they are doing to their bodies. They are not under any illusion that what they are doing won't hurt them. People who get plastic surgery know that body modification can be dangerous, and even fatal, but they do it anyway. I understand you have an emotional reason for feeling the way you do about this subject, but at the same time, everyone has free will and they are able to decide for themselves what they (or their character) do with their time. Also did you know that breathing air in a heavily populated area is also bad for you? Cars emit toxic gasses that kill people and they are expelled into the air and breathed in by the people who live there. Car exhaust is way more harmful than a cigarette, and way more people drive vehicles than smoke cigarettes.

I think they should put this on the mogstation for $18... per character.

Only concern I have with having the /smoke emote. Walk into a FC room with a bed and see a Roe and a Lala laying on the bed using that emote. I don't know if my eyes can take that.
