    I’m up for this too! I also hate that smell, and don’t touch the stuff due to personal reasons. The /upset emote for a particular miqo’te voice makes a wonderful ”Urrrrrghhhe!” Sound in the mean time

    It is juice....Fermented grape juice!

    Jokes aside, I dont understand the conflation between a game and real life going on from the opposition to the emote. If the argument is "Well this will promote smoking to children" then we got to remove a lot of things from the game. Even then, I think there's this weird concept that kids are too stupid to understand the difference between a game and real life. I was a kid once too, and I played my fair share of games that had smokers. I dunno about anyone else but I sure didnt sit there and think "gee, this video game guy smokes so I will too!" If anything, kids pick up smoking either to fit in to social groups typically or as a possible status symbol, not because they saw it on a piece of media. When I was a kid it wasnt cool cause Joe Camel smoked or because some action hero lit one up. Its cool cause its defying the rules and being rebellious. This also just plainly ignores societal counter pressures, or that smoking is in decline. So I dont buy into the "If we put this emote into video games, all of a sudden theres gonna be a surge of child smokers."

    If the argument is it supports bad health habits cause smoking is gross, yeah well the game does a lot of that already and probably worse. This is the same concept of violent videogames makes everyone violent mass murderers. It's a BS argument. I do a lot of terrible things in game healthwise, like jump off cliffs or stand in fire, and I dont go doing that in real life. Or the weird one where we say "Nah, second hand smoke man!"...in a videogame. We've been LITERALLY gassed in this game among other things, and were thinking about second hand smoke?

    Look, if you have personal reasons why you dont like smoking, thats cool. I have my own reasons too. But part of the fun of fantasy and RPGs is living a bit vicariously through avatars. You dont have to get the emote if you dont want it. But demanding no one else gets it cause "Muh reasons" is stupid. It's literally denying other people an aspect they think would be fun because of your own personal scruples. If they have a smoke emote, it shouldnt be any of your business. Dont get it if you dont want it. As I mentioned before, if its mogstation exclusive, then thats that. Even more reason why you dont have to have it.

    "Roll a joint" emote as well. Why not.
    Add a TV in the FC house that plays football and use your "ask for a beer" or "ask for a sandwich" emote.
    How riveting.

    Personally I hate the cigar tray furniture item. I'll see a really cool bar/lounge area and that one item will just completely ruin the vibe for me.

    But oddly enough, I don't mind the NPCs smoking in Kugane, and I don't think I'd have an issue with an emote for it as long as it's pipes like that and not a common cigarette/cigar.

    I don't care if they add these emotes or not, but drinking alcohol and smoking have been around since antiquity.

    Commendations.
    If I play dps I only give it out to other dps.
    If I play tank I only give it out to healers.
    If I play healer I only give it out to tank.

    Only if they should be getting a commendation.
    There are always exceptions to the rules!

    Well Yotsuyu was a prostitute or a courtesan or something.


    I think some other instances have popped up somewhere in the story randomly. So SE beat you to the punch.

    Besides, what you do with your Lalafells is between you and the good people of the FBI.

    First dungeon literally has women whove been kidnapped by pirates and there's plenty to infer theyve been..well taken advantage of in the worst way possible. Among those there are lalafells. The game doesnt shy away from treating lalafells as adults (as they are). So if the game were playing here is "No smoking cause we dont have prostitution!", game kinda already has it indirectly. Also not sure why were talking about an emote for smoking is some how equivilant to prostitution? Seems kinda a big stretch.
