> The comparison of social media to tobacco is almost too perfect

What do smokers reach for when they wake up? Their cigs. What about everyone else? Phones.

Yes! I read commentary a while back that said the size of the phone is roughly (w/in a factor of two) the size of a cigarette pack and just like the pack, is almost always within arm's reach and frequently sought.

Can't recall the exact source, but the conclusion of the article was: if you want to kick the phone habit, first of all, keep it out of arm's reach.
