/vape emote

Fu### ratings and all im gettin sick of ppl telling my whats ok to do or not, of "pretecting" ppl just to be sure...

i hate smoking, i hate drinking alcohol, still id like such emotes.

I think it is kind of funny how blurred the lines can be. We have whores in game (npc and pc). The WoL kills people, slaughters countless animals, is seen drinking (an assumed alcoholic beverage) with Aymeric, watches Moogles get wasted and even drugs them him/herself... yet a smoke emote crosses the line. SMH

Nothing promotes smoking more than telling people not to do it. The tobacco companies having been benefiting from anti smoke campaigns for decades. Putting a smoking emote in the game would encourage people to smoke like it encourages them to use violence to resolve conflict: not at all.

I think it's just one of many possible emotes that simply just aren't in the game.

Well, I think it's the whole "forbidden fruit" sort of idea that people telling others not to do it sets off other people in doing it. Some people have the willpower to ignore those impulses, others don't and let their curiosity take over instead too.

Smoking, and drinking, isn't normally seen as a Heroic act. A glass of wine at dinner isn't normally seen as bad but when you sit and drink a whole 6 pack it's kinda looked at with disdain. Smoking is also normally reserved for the villains now a days. Putting evil with evil since smoking is harmful. Granted you have the Champagne firework from weddings so maybe a smoke emote isn't that far fetched. However having our character run around constantly doing the smoking emote make make them look less heroic?

I wouldn't say so. There have been many protagonists in fiction that have been smokers. Some even having weakness/health issues as a result of it. John Constantine immediately comes to mind, and he doesn't face off against your typical bad boy that has a different perspective. He battles against true evil.

From a practical standpoint though, what the WoL goes through physically would be much more difficult if he/she was a smoker. I'm not talking about long falls, or fighting an Eikon. Just simply the amount of running, swimming, even riding your chocobo would all be much more difficult to do in the amount the WoL does.

Gonna quote myself from a similar topic:

Apparently in a past interview it was stated that it could possibly be implemented in the form of a "smoking candy" or something. If this is the case I really do hope they'll add it in whatever shape or form. Besides, we've already got all these NPCs holding pipes, not to mention it's the signature accessory of a certain Stormblood villain...

In any case, whether it has an actual smoke animation or not, I would very much like for my character to have the ability to hold a pipe. I do not smoke IRL, nor do I have any plans to start doing so, but in RP it's a rather significant aspect of my character.

No thank you.

I think a funny way to go about this would be to make the vape emote more realistic. Every time it gets used a hidden value starts to fill. Once the value starts to fill your character starts to cough intermittently and gasp for air then finally when its full collapses due to their inability to breathe and then shortly thereafter dies and has to respawn or get raised.... I hate vaping with a passion. Please no vape emote. If you must do a smoke emote make it a pipe or something classy.

I love that you say more realistic, but I have never, not once seen a single person keel over dead from vaping to much. With this logic, the Moogles we see drinking in the beginning of the game should die from liver failure, Aymeric should be checked into rehab for drinking wine, and every single npc who smokes a pipe should be hospitalized for lung cancer. A little much don't you think? With your logic the WoL should be arrested for animal cruelty and obstruction of justice.
