Item ID

Base.Cigarettes

Cigarettes are a consumable item.

Usage

A lighter or matches are required to smoke a cigarette.

Effect

Cigarettes can be used to reduce some stress of the player in exchange for causing some sickness.

If the player has the smoker trait, they will require having a regular cigarette, else they'll start to gain stress and eventually unhappiness. By having a smoke, they will completely relieve all stress accumulated (only -5 without the trait).

Cigarettes also reduce Unhappiness by -10 if the player has the Smoker negative trait (ten smokes will fully cure unhappiness).

Ideally, one with the smoker trait should only smoke when stress is at "Agitated", as the previous level, "Anxious", does nothing, and cigarettes cure all stress (But only with the smoker trait).

Smoking to the point of Fever Can poison the player to Death.

Outside of starting with the smoker trait, there is no way to get addicted to cigarettes when smoking them in-game.

Farming

Cigarettes can be used to make insecticide spray to combat pest flies.

The player needs to have read The Farming Magazine or have the gardening trait or farmer profession to craft insecticide.
