I think there is a Batarian smoking in a cut-scene. I like how realistic it is. People smoke and in 150 years people will still smoke. I am surprised you didn't see more people smoking on Omega or on Ilium.

Actually, I remember that scene and I thought that it looked good too, but that was a batarian on a **** hole planet. I still think that they’d have different vice light years away in the terminus systems.

Yes, smoking is more common among poor men.
Sorry if you don’t like the data.
The illusive man wouldn’t smoke, or drink.
That is all he does is smoke and drink.

It may be more common among the poor, but it doesn't mean that there aren't rich and powerful people who smoke or drink.

There are plenty of rich people who smoke or drink, just take a look at the celeberties, or even the "most powerful man in the world" the president of the United States

Its a sign, the reapers aren't a sentient machine race...they are cigarettes! they slowly indoctrinate you then kill you.

[Seraosha]

To be fair, the smoking is really poorly done. TIM doesn't inhale properly and the cigarettes never go out. It's almost as bad as watching Keanu Reeves in Constantine!

[Jigero]

I wanna know how the hell that elcor lit his cigarette..... does he have a personal cigarette lighting assistant or does he wait for some one to come into the shop and then asks if they can lite it for him.

You want to know where Cerberus got all that money to rebuild shepard?

Well there you go!

Subliminal Advertising? Yeah i know im right.



Honestly though, why does smoking make anyone a poor or troubled Person? Im a smoker, that does not mean i live under a Bridge and got some weird Problems. Smokes arent a Vice, its a Drug, at some Point theres this Moment where you're either "cool and belong to the smoker crowd" or you just dont. If you go with the first Option it obviously developes into a Addiction and quitting is not as easy as it sounds. Its not like you could go "oh well, i stop tomorrow no Problem". If you think that, something is very wrong with you. Its probably the hardest to get clean from, sure the first 1-2 weeks are easy, but then come the urges, massive depressions, you coughing up half a lung, and that can last from Months to Years in various Degrees.

I think we're forgetting that it's the future. TIM is probably smoking some wholesome chicken flavored Kentucky Slims with lungs that are engineered to turn the tar into a weapon he can shoot out of his eyes.



I've noticed smoking in a few places in the game, but it's never seemed out of place

I think TIM smoke so much that it really seems out of place. I mean come on, can you recall one scene, ONE goddamn scene in which TIM does not have a cigarette on his hand?

[Kerilus]

Double post.

The smoking seemed a bit OTT in places, esp TIM.



Definitely agree with the poster that said we need a renegade interrupt, putting it out on someone's eye would be sweet.

[CDClock]

TIM either chainsmokes like a mother****er or hastily lights his dart every time someone comes and sees him.

[EatinMcRib]

It's Future Tobacco. Like Star Trek's synthehol. All of the buzz, none of the risks.

[Vanaer]

Come on, Nicotine = Win. Smoking is divine ascension of the soul.

[justinprince]

it's most likely just your imagination...



"SMOKE"



and by imagination I mean it's just not always there...



"SMOKE"



and it's most likely inherent to the setting of the story



"ARE YOU SMOKING YET?"

[Space Shot]

It's amazing how insecure some people are about smoking in a game in large part based around killing people.

[Ke11iente]

Smoking is more common amongst the poor because rich people can afford more expensive vices like cocaine and little Asian boys.

[Busomjack]

I can tell this is an argument thread just by looking at the number of pages in it.



Smoking is population control anyways. Back on subject...



Yeah, I think it's interesting that some Batarians were smoking. Do you think they were smoking tobacco though?

[Deflagratio]

Three people smoke in Mass Effect 2.

The Illusive Man. He's a bad guy. (The Antagonist of Mass2 actually)

Sgt. Kathka. Bad guy.

Harrot. Omega, Bad guy.


Get over yourselves. It's the future, all cigarette induced illness is gone.

[cos1ne]

Just throwing in my two cents. Smoking has been around for hundreds of years, you think that 20th century morality would apply to a 22nd century world?



Even if cigarettes still cause cancer in the future people will still smoke them. Besides, I think that humans would undoubtedly bring cigarettes (and other vices) to alien races. Maybe smoking is out of fashion on earth but is having a resurgence in the galaxy because it's a "new and exotic" human product that aliens want to try out.



Also anti-smoking is largely a Western society phenomenon. Do you think western society will remain the dominant society on earth for the next 200 years?

Who cares if there is smoking in a game? Especially with someone like The Illusive Man, I cant imagine him not smoking.

Really?

Why the hell would an incredibly wealthy, incredibly powerful, incredibly purposed man smoke?
Smoking is so obviously a vice of a poor or troubled person.
The illusive man is neither.

It is pretty dumb that they made him smoke.
It is also dumb that they passed off smoking onto other species, as if they would roll tobacco like humans.
What is more likely is that they have their own, strange vices, and humanity probably out-lawed tobacco anyway.
Pretty dumb overall.

The vice of a poor or troubled person? Are you for real? :-)
While I don't smoke. I despise those who smoke around me.
And smoking led to my own father's demise.

I hardly think that smoking is the vice of a poor or troubled person.

Smoking is... a habit. It's sorta like eating donuts. It's not healthy but plenty of people still do it.

Plenty of people - rich or otherwise - smoke when they're stressed. Or they smoke socially.

Consider TIM's job and position. He didn't get there being easily. The guy must have an ass ton of stress in his life. Is it really a big surprise he smokes? YOU try dealing with someone like Sheppard who occassionally defies you despite two years of research and billions of credits spent into bringing him back?

And really - is TIM human?

I'd say not. Not by the look of his eyes.

[Habelo]

Oh no my precious young mind saw illusive man smoking now i wanna be cool as him... i just started smoking



**** U BIOWARE FOR DESTROYING ME!

[techpriest1]

thought to make a mod which add a "Marlboro" to TIM cigarette LOL
