Answer 1

Aversive conditioning.

Aversive conditioning is a type of counterconditioning that causes the person to associate something unpleasant with an unwanted behavior. In this case, the nausea and the images of the dangers of smoking are the unpleasant things. The unwanted behavior is Jacob's smoking habit. This method is often used to help people quit a bad habit.

Answer 2

Negative reinforcement

Step-by-step explanation:

In aversive conditioning the use of something unpleasant, or a punishment, is the main point to stop an unwanted behavior. It is used to combat addictions such as smoking or alcoholism. By applying a negative reinforcement-aversive stimulus (here is chemicals to induce nausea, images of the dangers of smoking) immediately before or after smoking the likelihood of the smoking behavior occurring in the future is reduced.
