    We have a drinking emote already, so I wouldn't see this being an issue. I wouldn't be opposed to having a smoking emote too, though I'm sure there's multiple reasons why they wouldn't add it.

    Main different is, I can be sitting next to someone drinking and it won't effect my health while sitting next to a smoker does.

    And how would sitting next to someone using a smoking emote effect your health?

    It's the image I would imagine. Hell even companies making smoking products aren't allowed to show people smoking in their ads in the USA.

    In short, underage people (for smoking) play this game. It would be a bad image and bad PR for SE to add something like this.

    Being next to someone who is drinking can affect your life in many negative ways none of which are passive (unlike smoking).

    While I wouldn't be opposed to a smoking emote, I can personally see how smoking is seen as worse than drinking. Alcohol every so often is fine, but smoking is rarely seen as fine for your health even if done in very small amounts and infrequently.

    They're referring to how it is in real life. People have gotten cancer from living with smokers or working in a place that allows smoking. And I suppose a smoke emote could be seen as endorsing such behaviour. Someone drinking next to you cannot affect your health.

    That being said there is an ashtray furnishing with a lit cigar.

    I know they are referring to real life. But the person they responded to was talking about the drinking EMOTE not drinking irl. A drinking emote doesn't actually make us drunk nor would a smoking emote effect anyones health is what I'm saying.
