    I really dont want to argue more, i'm pro pipes and as a singleparent father i can teach my child what is good and what not.
    Many things that get advertised or a accepted by the broad masses are 1000times more damaging to nature, society and personal health than smoking.
    The hippocrisy is real and is a thing for centuries.
    Do a research on smoking tribes in southamerica or asia or native Americans or do sone Research about the hippocrisy about the DEA and alcohol prohibituon and then Cannabis.
    Chocolate can become a drug as well as nutmeg. The use if concentrated Kakaobeans is a party drug still.
    The amount of sugar we allow to be in food is unhealthy.
    The cars we drive and so on and so forth....
    "Sola dosis facit veneum."
    Everything contains poison or can be unhealthy.
    The dose is what makes it poison.
    And the responsible use of anything in our lives, be it videogames, alcohol, sugar, cannabis, kakao, salt or your 4.0L 300 PS car is what we need to do and teach our childrens.
    The pegi, esrb or whatever regulation is hippocrisy and more or less always arbitrariness.

    The hippocrisy is real all the time.
    And it wont stop!

    @viperishemu2992 I hope you remember the issue when those troubling reports came about Fortnight and the parents got all alarmed, the social media warriors were up in arms and what happened in the end...? The kids decided to get the game anyway and play it everyday!

    If parents were in control there wouldn't be all those kids playing GTA 5 online as we speak!

    In its Olympic discipline smoking is the leader though. Other contestants were e.g. alcohol, sugar and salt, but none of them even got a chance.

    You have point regarding hypocrisy, but you're downplaying a lot here. It's true even our life elixir water becomes unhealthy once you reach a certain dose, but I'm unaware of any dose of tobacco above 0 that is considered to be healthy at all.

    Actual act of smoking aside, the pipes alone, with no smoke or tobacco, could be added to the game as some sort of misc accesories/customization along with jewelry or things like that.

    What I mean is that collecting smoking pipes is actually quite popular hobby, especially when it comes to the pipes carved from meerschaum. People rarely smoke those if ever really becouse they are a little works of art themselfs. In the past many nobles bought those as a testimony of thier wealth.

    @ardent-hallern Pipe carving was and still remains an art in its own right. I don't think there are people out there that refuse to read the Lord of the Rings or Sherlock Holmes because there is reference of pipe smoking in these books.

    It will make the game feel complete and add to the identity of the pirate character.
