The habitual act of scrolling on a phone—often through social media, news, or notifications—as a way to briefly pass time, calm oneself, or relieve boredom, similar in function to the ritual of smoking a cigarette.
A short, often mindless session of phone use undertaken for comfort rather than necessity.

The kids were restless in the waiting room, so I slipped them a screen cigarette to keep them occupied.
I had five minutes before my train, so I lit up a quick screen cigarette.
She doesn’t smoke anymore, but she still needs her screen cigarette after stressful meetings.
Nothing like a screen cigarette on the toilet.

Get the full screen viewmug. The phenomenon where it's easier for you to eventually start limiting your own screen time (though it initally requires you to "lose" your "appetite" to binge-watch YouTube like usual). As your parents impose strict behavior requirement to get more screen time to watch YouTube that you're simply unable to fulfill, no matter how "good" your behavior is.
After my parents imposed strict rules on my screen time, I ended up going on a screen time detox and found I actually enjoyed exercising more!
