Damn I couldn't disagree more. Only comparison I can see is "addiction" as another commenter said. A cigarette after sex, or say a meal is a method to relax and unwind while still being social with your partner. If you go straight to the phone that's equivalent to saying "I got what I want from this situation, now I don't need you anymore". I'd find that pretty disrespectful and insulting if it happened to me.

Exactly. You're not removing your attention from the other person when you light a cigarette; you're still fully present and responsive to them. Going on your phone is effectively shutting out the other person and is even worse if you're texting someone else/checking social media. It's like you're saying they're good enough to fuck but not to talk to.
