Those are the reflex actions I meant. For example, sitting at the
computer and reaching for a pack of cigarettes that weren't there. Having
a few gulps of beer and reaching for the pack of cigs. Waking up and
reaching for the pack of cigarettes that weren't there.

I went to my old job recently to see my mentor and as we were waiting for
the elevator he asked me if I'd quit smoking (after a year's absence).
Yes I said. I asked him about that over burgers and beer (OB) and he said
he couldn't smell the tar that surrounded my presence in the past. I
never knew!!!
