Soft Snake never goes into battle without a state-of-the-art modular device known as the B.O.X. and a pack of cigarettes. He uses the cigarettes to spark a debate about plight of the smoker in modern times, which never fails to turn people on both sides of the debate into whiny assholes, allowing him to sneak by easily. Another good use for the cigarettes, is that they slowly decrease his life. Why wouldn't he bring them?
