Smoking emote.

I mean, if smoking was completely abhorrent Yotsuyu wouldn't be pictured with a pipe. Wouldn't it be all or nothing with the people in charge of rating?

I don't like drinking and prostitution. Can we delete dwarves and "those" npcs from Limsa's upper decks? You know, for sensibility's sake. :^)
Besides, if we are talking smoking then you are kind of being disingenuous with your arguments if you are lumping every form of smoking into cigarettes. Grown tobacco is a different beast than big name cigarettes that add a ton of stuff to the stick.

The thing is that drinking is more or less an adventurer staple in fantasy genres (where you go to a bar and such). In FF, it's more common to always find a bar, so it's really not uncommon to get a toast emote. Drinking in this game is more of a celebration than the act of drinking in itself, which coincides the social aspect of the activity where it has a morally upright usage. Heck, we even have miscellany with shaking and shooting champagne bottles - all indicating a cause of celebration. Drinking is not harmful in moderation and often seen as acceptable for celebration, but the same cannot be said of smoking.

Prostitution is not something you can take part of in this game, nor looked in a positive light. I mean, then again people can't tell if you use mods to get those emotes, but that's against the ToS so :shrug: It's not officially endorsed. The most this game offers is embrace & Dote, which are have more morally upright connotations as long as you're not using it in a creepy fashion (which at that point, you can be reported for harassment if used improperly).

I figure the reason why we don't have a smoking emote is because it falls under the same category as the aformentioned reason: lacks a morally upright connotation. Not exactly because it doesn't happen in game, but there's no societal standard for seeing it in a good light, and the WoL is supposed to be that role model people look up to.

Papalymo should have been a pipe smoker.

Whenever he would like some alone time away from Yda to chill and think he'd stuff his little pipe and puff away by the piers.

I think it would have made the character a bit more three-dimensional.

There's a random npc in ul'dah smoking on a pipe, in the part with ala mhigan refugees

I'd rather have a stalk of straw like lucky luke
or a toothpick
or....... other things >_>

Just do smoke emote like they did in Gintama. There Gintoki licks lollipop so fast that it produces a smoke.

From time to time character can pull lollipop out of the mouth.
