1. How soon after you wake up do you smoke your first cigarette?

3. Which cigarette would you hate most to have to give up?
4. How many cigarettes do you smoke each day?
5. Do you smoke more in the first few hours after waking than you do the rest of the day?

Almost done — where should we send your results?

Why take the test?

The test consists of a standard set of questions which assess how dependent you are on your cigarettes and the intensity of your nicotine dependence. The higher your score, the more likely you are to have nicotine withdrawal symptoms when you stop smoking, and the stronger they are likely to be.

Understanding your nicotine dependence and working out how best to cope with those withdrawal symptoms when quitting smoking cigarettes is an essential part of the GoSmokeFree smoking cessation plan.

What will I do with the results?

Once you've answered the six easy questions, your results are automatically calculated and will display your level of nicotine addiction and the implications of that level of dependence. An evidence-based recommendation related to your score is given.
