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.

My teacher who introduced me to witchcraft, new age spirituality, reiki, and occultism did a spiritual journey where we tapped into each other's minds. It was like screen share of the mind.

A person who grows up with screen time limits for YouTube imposed by parents, but the same person doesn't want to impose the same screen time limits on their own future children. Persons like this are usually born from the first generation to grow up with YouTube, i.e. Generation Z (born 1997~2012).
As a screen time rebel, I remember how strict my parents were about YouTube, but I want my kids to explore and enjoy content freely, just like I wish I could have.
