Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: Difference between revisions

 

* In ''[[8 Man]]'', 8 Man (AKA Tobor the Eighth Man) had to smoke (or maybe eat) cigarettes to keep his powers running. Later versions of the character had him shoot up drugs instead.

* ''[[One Piece]] '': Smokers who are Luffy's allies, such as crew member Sanji, smoke cigarettes. Those who are his enemies are more often the ones with cigars.

** The obviously named ''Smoker'' has cigars strapped to his arms like machine-gun rounds (they're edited out in the 4Kids dub of the anime). He's seen smoking two or three at once sometimes, and while he is more a rival than an enemy, it's meant to signify "Badass".

* Solid Snake, who somehow manages to hide his cigarettes from a strip search at the start of ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]''. Very much [[Badass]]. A trait he apparently inherited from his father Naked Snake, who prefers the smooth taste of cigars.

** As a subversion Solid Snake is always berated by his friends for smoking.

*** Even the Boss tells Snake off for smoking cigars in the middle of a mission, even though Snake counters that [[Hypocritical Humor|she used to smoke them]]. The whole exchange comes off like a mother telling off her son.

** In ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'' Snake's smoking habit gets a much more prominent role. His failing health is mostly caused by other factors and he seems to smoke a lot to relieve the pain he is in. Otacon and Sunny do not approve and in one scene Snake is seen secretly smoking next to the kitchen's exhaust fan. In later parts of the games, cigarettes seem to make things only worse, but when Snake gets too weak and shaky to light his cigarette, [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Otacon picks up the lighter and help him]].

* Cid Highwind from ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' is most often seen with a cigarette. And keeps a pack held by his goggles. He actually uses them to light a stick of dynamite in one [[Limit Break]].

** Though his [[Kingdom Hearts|other major appearance]] has his smoking habit replaced with him holding a reed in his mouth, and he's not seen to do much smoking in ''Advent Children''...but then he lights up a victory cigarette after blowing up a reactor in ''[[Dirge of Cerberus]]''. This may be because in ''Advent Children'' he appears very briefly and spends most of the time killing a gigantic monster, and ''[[Kingdom Hearts]] '' is a [[Disneyfication|Disney game.]]

** In gameplay, smoking a pack of cigarettes restores a little EVE (magic points) at the expense of a an equal amount of health. Drinking booze does the opposite.

* Captain Price in ''[[Modern Warfare]]'' is shown smoking a cigar before the mission Crew Expendable. In in the sequel, Soap, who served under him, smokes a cigar before the mission Cliffhanger.
