I see a difference between "smoking habit" and "habit of smoking".
First one refers to (in my opinion) different styles of smoking whereas the second one refers to just smoking.
But FORGET this: if GMAT/OE says it is wordy, then IT IS WORDY. All you have to do is, remember that.
Now come back to options.
Comma (,) is usually used to express 'pause' and when we do that, the word that follows the comma immediately does not refer to the word that is just before the comma (to refer to that preceding word, we need to use 'which'). If we apply this, it makes sense: not the entire brain is behind the ear, just a part of it!
