BurgerLUA 902173f22b Mental Medication Overhaul, Smoking, and Breathing Reagents (#4220)
Overview
With the new implementation of Brain Trauma, I find it would be best for the antidepressants to include some relation to it. Obviously, Lord Fowl was away ahead of me and implemented them in the update already, but not the way that I would like it to be implemented.

Antidepressants
Currently, taking antidepressants suppress brain trauma conditions, however the suppression of brain trauma is not relative to the strength and dosage of the medication much like actual antidepressants. This proof-of-concept update now introduces a framework that factors in the dosage of the medication when it comes to applying or removing brain trauma effects, as well as adds harsher penalties for missing dosages which are relative to your regular dose.

Additional antidepressants are added to the update. Antidepressants are no longer a "one pill cures all" but many pills that cures 1-4 things. There are also two additional medications that act as some sort of loyalty pill, and a pill that acts as a disloyalty pill. The messages for the disloyalty pill only express rebellious nature, and isn't meant as a pill that gives an excuse to antagonize.

The following brain traumas are no longer cured by pills:

Dumbness
Gerstmann Syndrome
Cerebral Near-Blindness
Mutism
Cerebral Blindness
Paralysis
Narcolepsy
Discoordination
Aphasia
Smoking Cigarettes and Cigars
All cigarettes and cigars have a tobacco and nicotine reagent. These reagents slowly deals minor organ damage to certain organs while acting as a very mild painkiller, antidepressant, and stimulant. Like before, cigarettes can be injected with additional medicine, however the medicine is applied over time while you're smoking it, instead of all at once. Custom cigarettes can be made in the biogenerator, our found elsewhere, and can hold up to 15 units of reagents.

Breathing
Breathing emotes are played every second. Before, being in a smoke cloud would force you to "eat" the smoke. This update fixes it so that the smoke is breathed in instead. Currently, there isn't really any change, but it adds potential for new reagent effects such as inhalers or gassing people properly. If you have a mask with internals on, you're immune to the effects.

Additional Changes
Most reagents had no effect if they had less than 0.01 metabolism. This update fixes that so that most reagents can metabolize at less than 0.01. Painkillers and other special reagents still have a similar cap.
