Can you smoke?
I found matches.
I found cigarettes.

Can I light a cigarette and smoke it?
I think you can drink coffee, would be nice for immersion to be able to smoke as well, It is a crime noir after all.

Would be a nice detail to somehow figure out someone who is reluctant to talk smokes, then you could use "offer cigarette" to gain some likeability. Or something like that.

Liking the game so far. Of course there are oddities but I get the early access thing. I really dig the whole procedural city setup, it must be really complex to get it right.

Don't forget: Offer them a light if you have a match or lighter! That would be so immersive feeling.
I tried to smoke while waiting for enforcers
to clear out of a crime scene I wanted to investigate and got so sad when I realized I couldn't ruin my investigator health.

Jokes aside, its true that it would make the game more fun and immersive.

Damn, this game just needs smoking. Noir, dirty streets, this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rain, solving cases. C'mon you're a detective or what? :)

Just adding my +1. Would be great for immersion if we could smoke.

It was a great little detail in The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa, for example.

Love these ideas.

The only thing that would be better than "smoking because immersion" is if there was even a purpose to it.

To stay away from the "encouraging smoking" take, it could be that some people like it, and some don't. Offering a smoke to the wrong person could make them like you less.

And let the criminals smoke!!!! Cigarettes or tobacco at the scene of the crime, a pack of cigarettes from a place they went to... and investigate !!!!

Cigarettes being left at crime scenes and in general by smokers is already in the experimental branch, so I think all of this is eventually in the works. The foundation for all the immersive stuff is already there so we'll get there.

Cigarettes at the crime scene are incidental i believe

I am so conflicted on this option.
I just managed to finally quit smoking over a year ago. Will smoking in the game mean that I have fallen off the wagon?

Would love the option to smoke in the game, it'd fulfill that noir detective fantasy.
