There are specific times when I light up a cigarette just because of what I just did or what I am doing at the moment. I'm sure that most smokers probably do this. I know There are common smoking times for everyone such as after a meal. I do this and tell myself it is logical because smoking helps with digestion. I also smoke while I'm making stinky logs. In fact I'm doing that right now. Often this is an subconscious decision but I sometimes catch myself and think "Wait... I don't really want a cigarette right now." Here is a list of my smoking times:
- When doing a shit
- After a meal
- After certain checkpoints in video games
- After a shower
- While out to eat (as a break during the big meal)
- After sex
- When first getting in a vehicle to drive
- Right before work
- Right after work
- While washing dishes
- When I first wake up
- After smoking weed
- While walking the dog
- When a character on TV lights up
... damn that's a lot. No wonder I burn through more than a carton a week. I really need to watch out for these idioms. What are some of yours?

I've also been known to try and light another cig while I'm still smoking one.
Also sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night to smoke.
And anytime I'm drinking coffee, or alcohol.
Times I smoke are:
-when I get up
-After I eat meal 1 of the day
-If I'm at college, generally I'll have a smoke with other people there
-on my way to or from a bus stop
-when I'm hungry and there's no food at my place
-in the evening, after I finish dinner... usually several times; on average I probably have about 6 in between then and when I go to bed.
That's pretty well the routine, although it varies quite a bit day-to-day, obviously.
I do this almost every night actually. I will be in a deep sleep, wake up just to go get a cigarette, then fall back to sleep.
-After brushing teeth
-After getting dressed
-After a train ride
-Right before work
-Three cigarettes during break
-After work
-Walk home
-Smoke weed
-Drinking
-When I meet someone new so they know I'm cool
-When bored
When I'm driving. Have a bad habit of lighting up a few blocks before i hit a gas station because i'm not paying attention. Have to sit in my car and finish before fueling.
After getting anything major done. Work, vidyas, sex, tattoos, etc.
