    It harms you and you don't even have to be a smoker yourself.
    Last I checked someone drinking alcohol next to you does none of that.
    Drinking alcohol can cause liver failure and impaired motor functions. A drunk person causes problems for those around them and can even cause fatalities due to drunk driving.

    You know I meant hard drugs obviously.
    Though suppose could have worded it better.

    I said them being NEXT to you drinking.
    Not what happens if you're drunk or if you become some alcoholic that drinks a lot.
    Someone drinking next to you doesn't cause issue to yourself if you're a non drinker.

    But sitting next to a smoker will affect your health.

    The only difference between Alcohol and so called "hard drugs" is that Alcohol is legal. Once upon a time it was considered an illegal substance and "harmful to your health". It wasn't until the prohibition where it became legal again and was taxed and moderated. Now people love to drink and be merry and there are advertisements for it all over the place. But, people still die from alcohol every day. Driving next to (sitting next to) someone who has been drinking has a higher probability of second hand death than sitting next to a smoker. The difference is, you can walk away from a smoker. You can not walk away from a drunk driver.

    Alcohol also lowers inhibitions and can lead to fights or worse. So sitting next to someone who is drinking is not as "safe" to bystanders as you'd think.

    This is not a PSA to not drink by any stretch of the imagination. However, if you can not make the correlation between Alcohol being bad and Cigarettes being bad then we have to start looking at the similarities a little closer. Fact is they both kill people but people continue to enjoy their little pleasures. Not only bad people smoke. News flash, Yoshi P smokes cigarettes. Not saying it's cool now because he does it, but what I'm saying is you can not live life through rose colored glasses and point fingers at people because they choose to enjoy their lives differently than you do.

    What does this have to do with an emote in a video game exactly? Are the pixels giving you an asthma attack or something?

    You have to understand that there is no separation between your character and you. they are one in the same. So if your character encounters second hand smoke, you do as well. Thats how this all works. This is why I have to be careful when I play DRK. I dont want to accidentally cast unleash in a walmart and hurt someone simply because I forgot that Im not in game.

    Why not try reading the comments before mine before commenting? it might help?
    People were saying drinking and doing drugs are the same because they're both drugs more or less and I said it wasn't which lead into the derailment you see now.
    Reading Context before commenting can go a long way should try it c: or does attempting to try and school someone making your brain rot or something?

    Why would you get in a car with someone that's drinking? and if someone is driving like an idiot all in the street pretty sure you wouldn't be near it and the chances of you seeing it is not that common. Not trying to lighten the fact DUI is a problem but you're just grabbing at the bottom of the barrel by using that. Because if you wanna pull up extreme examples of drinking, I can also pull up extreme examples of smoking effects but not going to do that as its a waste.
    You people keep trying to prove me wrong but just coming up with illogical comparisons.

    You can walk away from someone that's smoking but cig smoke circulates in the air and travels. It doesn't just sit in the same spot as the smoker, whats next? Not enter a house I'm suppose to be at because they smoke? Just accept smoking cigs is worst overall health from the people around you.
    Smoking is way more common to be around than some drunk dude.

    Though gonna end this topic as its already a derailment.
    Smoking is gross and I'll hate this emote. Its not gonna happen so its w/e really, just gonna let this topic die just as the one asking to be strippers did.

    I mean that's fundamentally true. Alcohol is literally classified as a drug, specifically a depressant. And if it were so easy to identify someone drunk driving, then why do so many people get injured or killed by them?

    But again, to get back on topic; it's an emote, it's not gonna hurt you irl, if you don't like it just don't use it or buy it, since it would likely be a mogstation emote like /toast.

    I'm pretty sure you misread what I was saying. I wasn't talking about driving with a Drunk Driver, I meant sharing the road with one. Also fun fact, car exhaust is more harmful to breath in than cigarette smoke, it also lingers in the air much longer, but no one talks about the inherent dangers of breathing in vehicle exhaust. In fact, lets do a quick side by side. A person sits in a Garage filled with Cigarette Smoke for hours, doesn't die, sure they have an extreme headache and their eyes will hurt but they are alive... A person sits in a Garage and turns on the car and sits there for hours, dies.

    Also, extreme examples of smoking would all be self inflicted. No one has ever, to my knowledge, had to get a hole cut into their throat to breath from second hand smoke. No one has ever died of lung failure SOLELY based on second hand smoke. However, People have died from "second hand drinking".

    OK, if the person next to you is a rowdy drunk it could be bad for your health as well. Even if you're a non-drinker.

    Either way we're talking about smoking in a video game. There's no concern of someone contracting cancer and dying from smoking since none of it is real. "Won't someone think of the virtual children?"

    I just find it funny people are willingly getting worked up over something they don't have to use. Don't you have a better use of your time?
