Lore: Build 42 is set in an alternate timeline where nobody smokes

I can’t find cigarettes or lighters fuckin anywhere in rosewood. My theory is that late Bush 1 presidency there was an incredibly effective anti smoking push. This caused the Knox event because zombiodism spread to the lungs of all these people who were now weakened by lack of smoking (the government doesn’t want you to know that cigarettes are good for you)
