Smoke ban, simply counterproductive. My reasoned argument.

Cigars are unfiltered, and cannot be inhaled.

They're actually completely harmless. Only cigarettes have been linked to internet lung cancer.

I just bought a Carol of Ol' Ebenezer just for the cigar pose.

Good ******** going, Gaia. ♥

You are 100% correct. I abhor smoking in real life, so I never owned any of the items on Gaia. The minute I saw what happened, I wished I had them, just to put it on and fight the censorship. Then I remembered the cigar pose in one of my EIs, so I'm using that.

smoking ban on Gaia = lifelong anti-smoker putting a cigar to her lips.
Congratulations, Gaia. talk2hand

this silliness, they have materially altered the econemy. they need to get some actual public relations people in there, as the actions of this site are incompetent, to be nice. they will need to either remove the pose on carol, or lock the item to keep the precedent they have set. both options will upset many people.

[e-mantehdragonchamp]

I may only have one cigarette but I'm gonna keep it on as long as I can!

So it goes.

Kiserus and Long Drags... there goes an imporant piece
of former dream avatars and dream avatars to come.
Gaia has really crossed the line this time. Why would
they ban TOBACCO of all things, when they CLEARLY
have worse on the website! Alruna, Sundae, Fondue,
Box of Innocent Objects... are those the next to go?

I've often wondered long and hard about their public relations office...

Good point, they will have to bite the bullet on that Carol else their stance be incomplete. Johnny K. SPDoll as well.

And that will only fester the wound further.

Indeed, another good argument, as to hypocrisy.

I almost died when I bought it, since it was pretty much all my gold.

But I regret nothing.

[Bikki Kobayashi IV]

This is lame. Sure I only have a cig, but I'm not getting rid of it. Actually I wanted to get a long drag. But because of this crap I can't! Plus, even with the smoking items I never really thought about really smoking.

[Straight Ace]

I know right? Its hilarious.
They should have just put an unnatractive description on them. Just like in real life.

[Ayase Heart]

Ha ha nice.
