Formula:
The Nicotine Score is calculated by summing points from a series of questions, reflecting factors related to tobacco use patterns and cravings. Each answer is assigned a specific point value, and these values are added together to determine a total score.
- Time to First Cigarette (TTFC): Points based on how soon after waking you smoke.
- Difficulty Refraining: Points if difficult to refrain from smoking in forbidden places.
- Most Important Cigarette: Points if the first cigarette of the day is the hardest to give up.
- Cigarettes Per Day (CPD): Points based on the number of cigarettes consumed daily.
- Smoking Frequency: Points if smoking is more frequent in the morning.
- Smoking While Ill: Points if smoking occurs even when very ill.
Formula: Nicotine Score = Σ (Points from all questions)
