 * Stogie - with a pyramid on the cover. Described as Coughing Nails in the inventory. The only brand available to the player.

Game item
The cigarettes are mostly a flavor item. Using them hurts the player for 10 hit points (deducted from torso health). In Biomod/Shifter, using cigarettes also creates a small smoke cloud in front of the player, which creative players can use to their advantage in certain situations (e.g. having an enemy walk into it).
