Mycroft
Holmes, gives a cigarette to Sherlock and says "Merry Christmas".
Then in the following scene, Dr. Watson asks Mycroft if he gave the cigarette to
Sherlock.
So, it seems to me that the cigarette has some
significance. Although it might also seem like Sherlock was just
suffering from the supposed loss of Irene Adler, and his brother
just thought the nicotine patches weren't good enough to help him
relax.
Any thoughts?
Answer
When
Sherlock says "This is low tar", Mycroft replies "Well, you barely knew her". This
reenforces the idea that the cigarette is a way of coping with the loss - he didn't know
her that well, so he doesn't need a strong cigarette.
