Smoking cigarettes anywhere

All over the world, millions (if not billions) of people are smoking. From place to place, this is from something very natural to something forbidden. For example, in the Philippines, children start smoking probably when they start walking [1], while in a factory of explosives, this is strictly banned. So, smoking places do exist also in Second Life, like in real life.

Overall

Many smoked cigarettes at the feet of a convinced smoker

Smoking in Second Life is much different from real life smoking. First, cigarettes usually don't end, they can be used forever, unless they are specially made in a way to be consumed. Second, it is sometimes unnatural, you can smoke with any part of your body and you might exhale also with any part of the body if the cigarette is made that way. Third, it has no risk for your health, avatars never die.

Unlike real life, cigarettes can be divided in two different staff: fixed and animated. A fixed cigarette remains on your lips, while an animated one makes your hand move with a smoking animation. They also need an exhaler, a device that blows smoke (i.e. a particle jet) from your mouth. Usually, the amount of smoke is much higher than in real life.

Permissions and land rating

There are currently no restrictions for smoking throughout the grid. It is allowed in General, Moderate and Adult places. So, cigarettes, cigars or pipes can be smoked anywhere. There is a single problem, since they are made functional by a script, they might not work properly in 'no script' areas.

According to official data [2], there is no restriction for smoking in sims with maturity level set to 'General'.
