One of the three((There is a fourth in the form of cobblestones, but nobody knows what they are used for)) forms of currency used on [[Improbable Island]]. The other two are [[req|Requisition Tokens]] (Req.) and [[Supporter Points]]((Gained by donating organs and body parts to a worthy cause, such as keeping [[CaveMan Joe]] and [[fickle_wench | Emily]] fed.)).  Cigarettes (also called [[cigs]]) may be consumed (smoked) for a long-lasting [[buff]] or (eaten) for a long-lasting stomachache.((But don't smoke too many, or you run the risk of a long-lasting negative 'withdrawl' buff.  Definitely bad news.))((Don't eat too many either, or you run the risk of a long-lasting negative 'withdrawl' stomachache. This is bad news as well.))

Many necessary items and commodities are sold either with a cigarette component to the price (higher powered [[weapons]] and [[armor]]; [[housing]], and [[equipment]]) or are sold solely for cigarettes (most [[Mike's Chop Shop|mounts]], or [[sugar]], [[tea]], and [[coffee]] at the [[Trading Post]]).  Improbable Island cigarettes are magical and present absolutely no chance of horrible, long-term, incurable [[nicotine gum|addiction]] or chronic diseases.  See?  It says so right on the packet!((So why does [[nicotine gum]] exist?  The world may never know . . .))
