Just look for something to suit them. For most smokers their first cigarette helped them feel connected and socially accepted. When they feel alone or when they are stressed, that same feeling happens so they light up a cigarette. It is not the nicotine, it's the feeling and the memory. When you hold the cigarette or breathe in the smoke that memory combines with sight, with sound, with smell and feeling, one can close their eyes and touch textures. The texture of the cigarette and the feeling in the lungs reminds them of the time they were happy and hanging out with friends being rebellious.
When you wake up in the morning and see the toothbrush you automatically just grab it and brush your teeth because your subconscious has that program running. We are used to patterns, so is the pattern of drinking and smoking. When you start drinking your subconscious automatically grabs that cigarette without you thinking about it. It drives you to work the same route everyday. It gets you dressed in the morning. You don't think about what you do in the shower, you just do it. Your subconscious is doing it all.
