Smoking

I think I know the animation you're talking about. I thought he was yawning or something.

The whole point of adding smoking is that it adds a personal touch to you character. Who the hell would take a smoke break while running from zeds? Have you never spent time sitting around a camp fire with friends just talking?

By that logic, why should we be able to choose what our characters look like? it doesn't affect our ability to survive. Putting sunglasses on your character doesn't reduce the glare, it just makes them look like a Bro wanna-be. What's the point of being able to sit? your character doesn't actually become more rested, and who's going to sit while running from zombies? That would break immersion!

It sounds to me like someone took health class a little to seriously. Smoking doesn't instantly riddle your body with cancer and you don't start wheezing on short walks. What crap is this about smoking burning your lungs like acid and reducing your stamina? Hell I was doing 14 mile trail runs in two hours back when I used to smoke half a pack a day and had for years. I've since quit smoking but it wasn't until i became less physically active that my stamina started to decline. Hell, my Grandpa smoked like a chimney for fifty years and he's still going strong at 92. Well, as strong as a 92 year old can.

Besides, whose character lives long enough that they would need to worry about cancer.

yeah all the side affects of smoking are long term. I don't encourage it but I guess its alright if you moderate your smoking.
