Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The exhaustion method involves continuing the undesirable behavior until the person becomes so physically or mentally tired that they no longer want to engage in the behavior. In this situation, the smoker is smoking one cigarette after another until she is physically exhausted and unable to continue, leading her to potentially feel less motivated to continue the habit in the future.
