Having a hard time finding cigarettes

[Born to Coom]

I hear smoker is free skill points, and so I've taken them often.
I find myself however very unable to find cigarettes and a lighter.
I've looted convenience stores, a dozen houses and killed about a hundred zombies at this point and still no cigarettes and lighters.

Where do you actually find these things.
When I do find them I know they come in packs of 20 and so its easy to keep it managed but finding the FIRST lighter and cigarettes is such a pain.

Cigarettes can be found in stacks of twenty at a time, and they may be found in counters, crates, desks, garbage bins and zombies. I usually go straight for gas stations and office buildings for them however. If you are looking for lighters you can always kill zombies or check garbage bins.

Gas station behind the checkout pretty much always has a huge stash. Aside from that they're just fairly common loot scattered around on zombies, in car glove compartments, and random containers.

How have you NOT found them?

With rare loot settings Gas Station Convenience Store counters have over 200 Ciggies and some Lighters/Matches. More can sometimes be found in back storage.

Zombies will uncommonly have 20 of them on their bodies.

just a heads up when the rework comes around smoker is being changed to no longer be "free points"

I wonder if your issues stem from a mod. They are usually pretty common

Which is weird. Smoker should be free points in the 90's. A LOT of people smoked. Especially in Kentucky. Looking it up Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana were the biggest smoking states between 1996 and 2012. If they did change up smoking it would be nice if it was a tangible thing like they couldn't run as far or something

Let's just hope they address "waste of points," of which there are plenty.

Look for Matches, as well. They're better for cigarettes because Lighters are the only thing you can use for Molotov Cocktails.

What's changing?

When you do find some, you can also use the car lighter and stoves to light them until you find matches/lighter.

You have to use mods for car lighters and cigarettes light with stove option.

i'm guessing they will change add in smoking anxiety, where instead of normal anxiety rising after not smoking, a seperate moodle that has to do with smoking will rise. this solves the part where smoking lets you remove all normal anxiety for free.

It's already like that in the game.

If you have Smoker, you need to smoke to remove anxiety/stress caused from the Smoker trait.

I find the trait annoying and never take it. Always way too many cigarettes in my games, lol.

i mean't that smoking might be changed to not affect the normal anxiety/stress, and instead have it as it's own moodle.
