I’d imagine that the European versions of the show will have Chems though, this is the first time that a fallout only has a couple of hours of dialogue instead of an entire game full so Michael J Fox can go nuts cutting things out left and right.Chems was a term that dates all the way back to Fallout 1 since European countries weren't keen on seeing drug use glorified in videogames(neither were they happy with seeing kids being blown to bits, so to this day EU copies of Fallout 1 and 2 have kids scrubbed from them without a patch). Bethesda simply inherited and kept the term as one of the franchise's catchphrases.
Addictions were also originally called "cravings" to get around the same EU mandated censorship, however that's not something that translated over into 3D Fallouts.
