A character who has quit smoking or drinking keeps one, last unsmoked cigarette, or one last bottle to remind him of why he quit. May be a dare, a test where he can prove to himself that he has quit for good, a quitting device to prevent him from buying more, or a memento to remind him of what they were like before quitting. This item can be used for drama. If the character is at a very low point in their life (or the story), they may find themselves staring longingly at it as they consider starting the habit up again as their thoughts turn self-destructive. Sometimes, if the character goes through a particular level of stress, but particularly if he is doomed, he may light up that last cigarette or swig from that last bottle. Especially if he's making a Heroic Sacrifice. May also be a Chekhov's Gun. |

After former Democratic Representative from Texas Charlie Wilson (of Charlie Wilson's War fame) stopped drinking for health reasons, he still kept a single bottle around for a really special occasion. He consumed it upon the announcement that the Soviets were pulling out of Afghanistan (Giving aid to the rebels fighting there had been his goal for some time). | |
