    She is an antagonist. NPCs that smoke are an example of abuse or non friendly. Yes the emote is in game, but it's like the bent over drunk emote. Just because it's there doesn't mean it's good.

    Juggling on the other hand...

    Not all of our emotes need to be good.

    Theres plenty of things in this game that can be seen as 'unhealthy' and are part of the game. This is an arbitrary standard being applied. "This is bad because in RL, smoking is bad bad bad! Therefore we cant have smoking in video games (Unless its a villain, than its totally ok for them to smoke!)" then we turn around and have physical and psychological violence, sexual undertones, getting drugged, Using performance enhancing drugs for combat, etc etc.

    Hell, I do wonder if it wasnt smoking like tobacco and it was smoking something like cannabis if there would be nearly as much push back, because lets be very real here: The lionshare of "Smoking is Bad" is aimed directly at tobacco products specifically, not cannabis. So its not smoking thats the issue in RL, its what is being smoked that raises eyebrows.

    If you're an NPC who smokes, it means you're horrid or were raised bad.

    Also I find it ironic that all the people I've seen outside the forums saying a smoking emote would be bad cause this game is colorful and child friendly....are the same people who used "certain" mods and want butt sliders.

    Just an observation.
