CRAVING

Good morning, I hope everyone is having a great day. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin.

Today's word is: craving (to have / get a craving for something)

It means: to have a strong, almost uncontrollable, desire to do something. It is usually used with words related to food, smoking or other habits.

Example 1:
A: When you were pregnant, did you have any cravings for strange foods?
B: Well, now that I think of it... I remember getting a craving for Indian food when I was in my seventh month of pregnancy.

Example 2:
I'm trying to quit smoking, especially now that the new tobacco law has come into effect; but I'm still going through the stage where I get strong cravings for a cigarette.
