Players should be allowed to smoke in game. Show your support!

As s/o who grew up in a household with a drunken and violent father: yeah right. Keep downplaying the dangers of alcoholism.

There are other ways of coping with stress that do not involve such negative side effects. Sadly, drinking/ingesting toxins instead of dealing with what you experienced has become socially acceptable.


You obviously need help or medical personnel would not prescribe medication.... kind of self explanatory.

Sometimes that help comes via therapy, sometimes via medication, often a combination of both administered by professionals.
That is not the same thing as grabbing a glas of Whisky for every problem you encounter and "self medicating" in an uncontrolled manner.

wait, when did we start talking about alcoholism? We're talking about smoking (however with you bringing that up) just because someone picks up a bottle of whiskey to drink doesn't mean their an alcoholic lol. BUT, I mean, I believe everyone is in agreement that anyone that is an alcoholic needs help......I think you're sort of getting the wrong idea of this whole thread entirely. Just because we're asking for a smoke emote, doesn't mean we're all raging smokers/alcoholic, or whatever you're thinking here.

I don't smoke cigarettes and I think it's gross, but I'm not going to sit here and belittle/criticize folks that do. I smoke the devil's lettuce, you know, but that's about it. Still not judging folks. It's easy to stay out of others' business; but asking for a casual smoking emote (if we're even being serious here, I really don't care at all tbh, but it WOULD be a nice casual emote to have when going afk). Like, have you not noticed how smoking is already in this game? Tsukuyomi smokes while you're fighting her for her kimono. My FC chambers have bottles of spirits everywhere and an ashtray with a lit cigarette on my bar stand. It's...already in the game. Like, I shit you not SE already doesn't care.

My initial response was to a person that depicted smoking as a coping mechanism. That entails regular use.
Use Alcohol in a regular fashion and you will become an alcoholic. It happens way faster than most people are willing to admit.

Okay? Still off topic by bringing up alcoholism; smoking coping doesn't = alcohol coping. There's differences in whatever method of coping you decide to use.
