📋 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.
This Fallout 4 mod removes the need to use a workbench to craft cigarettes into usable items. A script automatically converts any cigarettes you pick up into usable ones, saving time and hassle. Ideal for players who want a streamlined, quality-of-life improvement without extra steps.

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or NMM, install this mod through it to avoid manual file placement errors.

- Test by picking up a cigarette in-game—if it doesn't convert, check for mod conflicts.
