Explanation:

• Having the first cigarette soon after waking up indicates a strong physical and psychological need for nicotine, a sign of addiction.
• Cutting back producing headaches is a withdrawal symptom, which is a classic sign of addiction as the body reacts to reduced nicotine intake.
• Trying to quit but relapsing after a short time (four days) shows a lack of control over nicotine use, a key aspect of addiction.
• Stopping smoking when sick is a normal behavior (as the body may be more sensitive then) and not a sign of addiction.
• Choosing buying lunch over cigarettes shows a prioritization away from nicotine, not a sign of addiction.
