📋 About This Mod

This mod is very, very simple. Upon picking up a single cigarette, a script will automatically remove that cigarette you just picked up from your inventory, and add Hax0's custom cigarette to your inventory. Same applies to cigarette packs and cartons. Packs will add five cigarettes, cartons will add 10.

Also I've edited the effects of cigarettes, they will no longer heal your head and will no longer provide rad resistance, since this made no sense. Incase you don't like this, there is an alternative file.

Potentially fixed the bug that was causing some people's games to crash.
