      I'd probably not use it, but it would be fine with me if it got added (I'm not into women smoking pipes and I no longer have any male characters).

      I don't really think we should be advocating smoking in a game that young adults play. All the drinking/drunk aspects are bad enough, but having lost several family members to cancer primarily due to them smoking most of their lives, it's just not something I care to see added to the game.

      Personality or emote version would be good either way in my opinion.

      I can totally understand as I have lost family and me myself am suffering from lung issues due to smoking, but we are not talking about cigarette ads or anything.
      Elder Scroll games have had references to smoking in all their games and "pipe weed" and Pipe smoking are just a standard fantasy trope. (Gandalf & Bilbo? Merry and Pippin?).
      Also, ESO is rated 18+ and there are more questionable activities in game not appropriate for younger people, hence the 18+ rating.

      Just having a nice pipe smoking emote with a tavern pipe would be a great addition to RP.

      This game already has a skooma bubbler, which I understand to be a (pricey) device with which to partake in an illegal narcotic. There are several references to pipes, from those treasures you steal, to a quest to retrieve an old sailor's favorite to small pipes over desks (when are we getting that as furnishing?). I'd like an emote that added pipe-smoking, as I think it'd be hilarious to use that during dangerous times, such as dungeons or waiting for world bosses to spawn (I already use the crochet emote for that purpose). Let's face it: I'm a tank, I get chewed by dragons, hit on the heat by huge beasts from oblivion and thrown around by giant robots. Smoking whatever herb grows on Nirn would be the least dangerous of my activities.

      I would use it on one of my female characters because doing so would be both nostalgic and amusing to myself. My dad smoked a pipe and he allowed me to try it when I was around 6 years old. I gave it back to him after one draw *cough, you can have it back, cough*

      It has been requested a couple of times (even before the old thread this post was made because).

      There are pipes seen as item clutter in some places and even npcs who are actually smoking a pipe, or at least holding one. Here are three:

      There are numerous mentions of smoking in dialogue or contraband. Everything from bretons smoking a fancy pipe, to bosmer who smoke all kinds of unusual bugs. We have large skooma pipes and Elsweyr sugar pipes as furniture. Smoking is everywhere in ESO of all types of variations.

      See above, this is a mature rated game that already has lots of references to smoking. Also, pipe smoking is bad but dozens of drugs, alcohol, torture, violence, SA, messing with people's minds and souls, the daedric princes and what their spheres contain (Like Molag Bal has much more nastier titles than God of Schemes), people dying in horrifying ways etc is fine? But oh no pipe smoking that already exist! Can't show that for adults.

      I've wanted my bosmer to be able to smoke a pipe for years. She wants to enjoy her sweetgnats! The ever increasing number of contraband and npcs with it does not make it less frustrating.

      They probably won’t add it because of tobacco/drugs exposition laws. World of warcraft had to remove an event quest where you had to drink until you saw miniature pink elephants because some countries required it to be censored.

      As I am old, I have some memories about things like this... feel free to google "smoking is very glamorous"

      But this is a fantasy game, so the other more negative parts of smoking could be avoided... just like the affects of long term heavy drinking seem to not affect us even if we stumble around, so why not a pipe to replace the idle animations... and we need not worry about the olfactory issues associated with the clouds of smoke, just like what I would suspect those related to our less then fastidious nature... but then a replacement for idle in water could be replaced with "Wash Self"...
      Of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most...

      I don't understand how this is a problem and the existence of this would 'advocate smoking', this game is 18 plus, and there's already plenty of references of hard drugs etc. so, yeah, totally not a problem!

      Smoking emotes, pipe personality, you name it. Put it all in. I'm not even a smoker, I just think they look cool.

      Also, make the furnishing "Khajiit Skooma Bubbler" useable. Beds too while at it. @ZOS_JessicaFolsom this thread needs some attention. ❤️

      As i said in the other thread, i hate smoking, think it is disgusting. However, this is a game, and i am a heavy role-player. For the sake of RP, i strongly support this.

      That being said, they still havent given up a bathing/scrubbing/washing emote, like many NPCs are doing in Elswyer and such. Rather sad/miffed about that. Would rather see the bathing one come before the pipe one... but hey.. whatever works.

      I strongly support the addition of this, not only that, but I'd like to see different types of pipes represented.

      This is an 18+ game, we already have references to drinking, smoking, and illegal activities, some of them quite horrifying.

      We have the Dark Brotherhood, where you can sneak up behind someone and shove a knife in their eyesocket then throw them down as if they were a bag of garbage you were taking out to the corner.

      Lots of people think the DB is cool. You don't see them going out on the streets becoming murderers.

      Lots of people think characters in fantasy games smoking is interesting, or a part of how they see that characters personality, and they still have the sense to know smoking is bad for your health in real life.

      Can we not just slap a label on the emote that says "smoking is bad kids" and allow people to have a smoking emote for their imaginary characters who aren't going to be affected by it whatsoever, please?
