Give cigarettes/cigars some kind of stat buff (like drugs.)

[Quietthecutie]

I think we can all agree that the Panim update was a massive W and i have been having a lot of fun with it. However it has raised a concern, namely now that you can panim a cigarette, cigar or vape pen there is literally no reason to buy cigarettes or cigars anymore, not even for RP purposes.

My idea would be for tobacco products to give you some kind of small statbuff when consumed. as nicotine is a calming drug, it would be cool if it had the same effects as marijuana but at a reduced potency, maybe half? this would give tobacco products a reason to still be sold in stores whilst not making them super powerful.

+1 should have maybe a lesser effect similar to blunts.

+1

Also I think adding the possibility to get addicted to it too.

So you could be at work in RP and be like "I need a smoke break"

But instead if losing HP when your cravings hit. you just get the screen effect and a notification message saying you're craving nicotine

I understand you. Nicotine does have that calming effect, but if you're comparing it to the buff from marijuana, I think it should be something different, more like a focus boost or mild stress reduction. It could fit better with the way people use cigarettes in-game, more for social or "cool-down" moments than a real stat bump.

honestly the actual effect is up for discussion but as it stands theres still no reason to buy them. if you wanna do it for RP purposes you can just use the panims now. should definately get a look at.

The Panim update definitely changed the game, making it less appealing to buy traditional tobacco products. Adding a small stat buff to cigarettes or cigars could bring some balance back. A calming effect, similar to cannabis but milder, is not such a bad idea.
