Pack of cigarettes (Fallout 3)

Packs of cigarettes, all branded "Big Boss," can be found just about anywhere in the Capital Wasteland.

Like the cartons of cigarettes, they have little practical value except as Rock-It Launcher ammo. They can't be smoked by the player.

However, they have a low weight (0.5) and a relatively high value (10 caps), giving them a good value/weight ratio (20 caps per weight), making them useful trade goods, especially for lower-level characters.

Strangely, they can be found very often in Garbage Cans. Maybe the population of America all tried to quit smoking before the War? However, that would not be the case as some NPCs will smoke cigarettes. Giving a Carton of Cigarettes, a Pack of Cigarettes or a Cigarette to Jericho and possibly other followers will cause them to smoke when they are idle in game.

It is interesting to note that while the game allows extensive drug use, bloody violence, intoxication, and addiction, the player is unable to smoke.

Talon Company Mercs frequently carry these.
