Answer 1

A. Craving Emily cannot stop thinking about cigarettes and what it would feel like to smoke one.

Answer 2

Craving: Cravings, as experienced by addicts can be described as an overwhelming feeling or desire to use. They desire to sooth the pain, I guess.

Ritual: Ritual behaviors can be described as activities, thoughts or ideas that addicts engage in as part of their addiction.

Using: Using is self explanatory.

Guilt: Guilt is immediate, it mostly arises from having done what your addiction is, for example smoking.
