Ben Afflecks Apple Habit Leaves Fans Confused!

was spotted chomping down on another apple in public while running errands in  on Tuesday afternoon.

The 53-year-old actor was dressed in a business casual look as  amid his apparent attempt to stop smoking cigarettes.

It marks the third time in a week that Affleck has seemingly chosen apples over cigarettes, which is a known behavioral technique used to kick the addictive habit. 

Affleck has been a longtime smoker, who reportedly quit in 2007 but resumed sometime in 2016.

While Affleck has not spoken publicly about quitting smoking this year, healthy snacks like apples or even chewing gum are often used to resist cravings by giving 'your mouth something to do,' according to the Mayo Clinic.

Fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the Hollywood hunk's new go-to treat, with some jokingly tweeting that they wish they were 'an apple getting devoured' by Affleck. 

Affleck looked at ease on his Tuesday outing in a light blue shirt with navy corduroy pants and a beige sport coat.

The Boston-bred filmmaker added brown boots, which coordinated with his brown belt.

His greying hair was cut short and his grizzled beard was closely trimmed.
