How Addicted To Nicotine Are YouBelow I have included a test, called the Fagerstrom test of nicotine dependency,which helps you find out how dependent on nicotine you are. If you score very low you are unlikely to need nicotine replacement therapy to stop smoking, if onthe other hand your score is high it might be a smart move for you to use nicotine patches or gums to get through the first few weeks of quitting. Grab a scrap of paper and a pen and write down your score so we can add it up at the end.
Question 1 - How soon after you wake up do you have your first cigarette?
A - First 5 minutes = 3 points
B - 6 to 30 minutes = 2 points
C - 31 to 60 minutes = 1 point
D - Anytime after 60 minutes = 0 points
Question 2 - Do you find it hard to refrain from smoking in places where it is forbidden?
A - Yes = 1 point
B - No = 0 points
Question 3 - Which cigarette would you find the hardest to give up?
A - The first one of the day = 1 point
B - All the others = 0 points
Question 4 - How many cigarettes do you smoke a day?
A - 10 or less = 0 points
B - 11 to 20 = 1 point
C - 21 to 30 = 2 points
D - 31 or more = 3 points
Question 5 - Do you smoke more in the first few hours of waking than you do during the rest of the day?
A - Yes = 1 point
B - No = 0 points
Question 6 - Do you still smoke even when you are unwell? In bed with the flu for example.
A - Yes = 1 point
B - No = 0 points
Now lets add up your score
7 to 10 points = highly dependent on nicotine
4 to 6 points = moderately dependent on nicotine
Less than 4 points = low dependance on nicotine
So there you have it, this should give you a good indication of how addicted to
