phantom cig 

When it feels as if you have a cigarette lodged behind your ear, even though you don't. Commonly experienced by smokers who often hold cigs there temporarily. Also known as a phantom fag (in the UK).

Two people go for a smoke; smoker A pulls a cig out from behind their ear and lights up.

Smoker B: *checks pockets* "Aw shit. Hey mate, do you mind if I borrow one?"

Smoker A: Oh sure *checks ear despite fag already in hand* oh wait, I'm already smoking that one. Stupid phantom cig.

phantom cigarette syndrome 

A condition that occurs when a smoker leaves a cigarette behind his/her ear for an extended period of time. Upon removing the cigarette, the smoker is left with the feeling that the cigarette is still there. Often the smoker will finish their cigarette and reach for the one behind their ear, only to realize that they just smoked it.

Smoker#1 *removes cig from behind ear, smokes it, and reaches for the one behind hid ear* Dammit! I thought i had another cig

Smoker#2 Dude, you're suffering from phantom cigarette syndrome
