41.78.16 Zombie kills "reduce" stress from cigarettes

While stress from cigarettes is barely above Anxious, each zombie kill causes the moodle to disappear and pop up again.

• Smoker should not be able to reduce stress from kills (unless above the cap from cigarettes?), so it won't lead to this visual noise.

Ah, that is why I'm seeing the moodle constantly popping up!

 

Is it only around the threshold, or do kills continue reducing stress all the time?

 

What's "stress from kills"? Kills don't induce any stress, do they?

does not reduce, you will always feel like smoking every 6 or 8 hours

Kills reduce stress by a tiny amount, which comes back straight away because of Smoker.  That's my understanding at least, I don't play with Smoker anymore but I see the moodle issue all the time watching Wic Hammer on Twitch.

Stress and stress from cigarettes are tracked independently, probably so you can't just read a book to get rid of it.

As @Hugo Qwerty said, kills reduce regular stress, but then stress from cigarettes overrides it back.
