    I'm fairly certain that smoking "in an online game" has NEVER once caused anyone any harm whatsoever.

    One could argue that it encourages smoking, however.

    You can only argue that if you're a huge tool though. Ol' Jack Thompson, devil roast his soul, made the same kind of comments and he got disbarred. If games don't make kids into murderers or thieves, then it's not going to make them into smokers. Period. This argument has no baring in reality, it's been consistently disproved by every reputable study done on the matter.

    Of course it can never be allowed, because the CHEEELDREN (illicitly buying a Mature 17+ game) can't tell the difference between a game and real life.

    Just as TES and ESO has already started a worldwide pandemic of pickpocketing, reading stolen books, murder, eating red meat, demon summoning, drinking alcohol, necromancy, necro philia (SERIOUSLY starred out?!), slavery, and molesting lizards in maid outfits.

    No more creepy than being selfish enough to contaminate and making people around sick, just because we cannot find a better way to relax and deal with our frustrations.

    I hope you don't drive a car or use public transportation or buy anything made in a factory that dumps chemicals in our oceans and water supplies because than I'm afraid you are being a huge hypocrite

    All of those things add pollution to the air which causes more cancer and sickness than any cigarettes can.

    Also...there isn't one actual case of second hand smoke causing cancer..if you truly look at the da6a..it's only PRESUMED and not hard data. There are plenty of counter studies to show second hand smoke as harmless and the likely cause of the lung cancer is pollution..seeing as many people get lung cancer who are never around smokers.

    Cancer is not the only sickness caused by smoking, darling. There's pulmonary emphysema, air tract infections, asthma flare-ups, cardiovascular diseases, low birth weight in newborns, just to mention some. And your attempt to disregard my previuos comment still has no value since smokers do that too besides pestering the air with their arsenic-laced breath.

    But keep trying to justify that habit and hide the fact that smoking is quite annoying and health risking for others, otherwhise we wouldn't need to have isolated smoking spaces in restaurants, and ban smoking in many places like hospitals, schools and government buildings.

    Sorry but the cds is a corrupt organization.

    At any rate if you want to play sources wars here's one showing second hand smoke as harmlesd..actual science not cdc rhetoric.

    Yeah, lets encourage all the younger kids who play the game to smoke tobacco or maryjane or dope or whatever the imagination can come up with. I know this is a game but for the same reason you can't advertise cigarettes on tv here in America lets also not encourage smoking in game.

    And before people laugh about it just being a game, keep in mind the amount of people who lost loved ones in REAL life to smoking related diseases...

    LMAO.

    1.) This is a mature game. So if anyone is allowing their children to play this game they are exposing them to things that are probably far more damaging if there is anything in this game that can damage them.

    2.) So because people lost loved ones to smoking, out of some sort of respect for that we should refrain from having it in art and entertainment? LOL. Okay buddy.

    You do realize that second hand smoke is just a theory, and a widely discredited at that?

    Plus, I dont smoke indoors, I dont like that myself. But if youre referring to outside, then the answer is "get over it"!

    For the record, even if I voted YES and I want to see this feature implemented... I also hate cigarettes IRL and also really dislike the smell that people that smoke them have impregnated on them.

    But, OTOH... real tobacco pipe (like it used to be at least) smells good... I still remember my great-grandfather who sat on his chair and smoke his pipe when I was a little kid... I still remember the smell. He was something like 96 years old at that time and he smoke pipe since he was young... those were different times, though.

    There's a part of me that wants to be against it cause i hate smoking and can't stand people that do it, but i just don't care anymore. I'm no gaming saint, I've gotten my hands dirty in Grand Theft Auto before. I've waterboarded an innocent with gasoline, kidnapped a crime bosses daughter, picked up girls working the streets only to run them over after they were done and got out just so I could get the cash they dropped.

    If people want to puff the magic dragon in a video game, who am i to say no.

    I lost someone to a tree. Should we remove those too?

    I am indifferent though. I don't smoke IRL (but i do drink wine occasionally which is bad also) but it's a game so i might stick one up then ingame.

I'm also about 100% certain that if someones elses ESO toon busts out their pipe in the bank and starts puffing away I don't have to worry about second hand smoke either.

    You just keep focusing on the cancer part and disregarding other illnesses that have been proven to be caused by smoking (and second-hand smoking). But oh noes, since it doesn't cause cancer, it must be completely harmless. Hah.

    You can sing and tell us about how any discourse against smoking is a conspiration by unmentionable secret organizations and how people who don't like it are brainless sheep, it won't deny the fact that cigar smoke is annoying (except for smokers of course), smells awful and is harmful in several ways (not just cancer) specially for people who have respiratory problems and children.

    Theres many more sources and close experiences that tell the opposite.

    And you can just learn to cope with your anxiety and stress without consuming that trash (and make people indirectly consume it too). You put yourself into that condition, and people around you don't have to deal with the consequences of your own fault.
