It's not going to be added, you've got pretty much 95% of the community against you.

I'm wondering why this thread hasn't been closed yet...

Only 95%? Looked like about 99% to me.

I can't stand people when they decide to go smoke, the last thing I want is to see people doing in a game.

Also, you want our opinions, and we are giving them to you. Obviously just about everyone who has posted in this thread has expressed their dislike for the idea, and if Anet sees this they will assume the community doesn't want it. Yes, it's possible (as technologically possible) with a few minor additions, but that doesn't mean Anet is going to put it in.

Also, drinking is a much more social activity than smoking is. As stated before, when something good happens and you want to celebrate with friends, you go get a drink. But you don't go smoke with them unless it happens to happen at the same time your urge kicks in. And ale fits in much better with the context of the game than smoking. You hear about a dwarf in a fantasy setting, one thing you would imagine is them at a pub getting a drink, not in the back alley smoking tobacco/weed/etc.

Overall, bad idea /notsignedinamillionyears

Title 1: Smokers Lung
Title 2: Lung Cancer
Title 3: Emphezema

I find alcohol more acceptable than smoking. Seeing as how I don't know of any disease that alcohol causes (alcoholism is not a disease, on a 60 minute special or something like that, there was a show on how the people able to quick drugs were people who chose to do it themselves, and not people who got professional help which leads me to believe addiction doesn't exhist and it is only an excuse.) In a way I don't believe alcohol kills people, drunk driving: yeah it kills people, but if the people were responsible enough to get a sober driver in advance then they would prevent the whole thing.

Smoking on the other hand does cause disease, known to have upwards of 20-30 carcinogens in it. No smoking in game, even if it doesn't influence the younger players. It is just plain stupid.

Lets add pot, crack, maybe some morphine and how about shrooms. That is the request if this one becomes accepted.

Yes, the mods have seen it. And while it is not a popular suggestion, that in itself is not a reason to close a thread. However, continuing to post spam and off-topic conversations after having been warned is.

Closed.
