KNOWN ISSUES

Depending on your model, there will be distortion on the cigs on the hands.  You might have to adjust the hand morphs to remove the distortion (I tried my best to get it as distortion free as possible)

The physics could get messed up when doing a force reload, where the smoke falls down.  To fix just max out the gravity and then back to default.

It's optional, but you do need the Emissive Script to make the lit end glow (ie. inhaling) which will cause some issue itself.  If you remove the Emissive script, it'll mess up the cigs that even a force reload won't fix.  It literally destroys the material options that my cigarette script needs to animate the smoke.   You also can't really load the Cigar preset or adjust it cause the Emissive script takes over that option.  So my tip is get the cigarette looking the way you want before loading the scripts. 

There shouldn't be any distortion with the one in the mouth that I've encountered, but you might have that one morph that does distort it.

NOTES

Another sidetrack project.  Was working on updating Marge Simpson, and had the idea to give her a cig to match the can of Duff Beer, and her side of the family all smokes on the show.  Was planning on doing an unityasset, but had the idea to try it as a clothing option so you can just click to add it instead of fiddling with attaching an unityasset.

Lots of trail and errors to get it not distort.  Not only did I found a good option, I also get the bonus of posability too.  It's 'parented' to the tongue, so you can use tongue morphs to move it around. (see video above)

It kind works without the script, but made one just to make everything as easy as possible.  There is a slight clipping issue with the Emissive script, so I've added a counter to offset it so it doesn't clip.  

I was planning to do a male version too before releasing it, but after spending the whole weekend trying to get a version in the mouth that didn't have distortion without success, I didn't want to wait on it anymore.  The fact that it uses a fullbody Morph as default makes it that much harder not to get distortions.

I'll work on it later as well fix some minor errors i've noticed.  Hence the reason this is a Beta release, so please don't share it till I'm totally finish with it.
