I'm watching The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
The character Lisbeth is a smoker.
The first few times she lit up a cigarette on screen, I could feel it. You see her face, and she is deep in thought. You can see the subtle, temporary relief as she exhales that first burst of smoke. I would inhale while watching, and have a lapse of yearning. This is repeated several times throughout viewing the film (I'm watching it in sections, when I have spare time).
Then later in the movie, there is interval in which she lit up 3 or 4 cigarettes within about 10 minutes of the movie (not in real time; there is an assumed lapse of time between shots). And during this, my body & mind interpreted it as being consecutive light-ups, and I began to feel a faint nausea, as I would if I had smoked too many cigarettes in a row...
