Measure nicotine dependence by the fagerström test for nicotine dependence

Abstract: Objective To assess the level of nicotine dependence of smokers in a university dental clinic in southern Brazil using the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence and identify those who would like to quit smoking. Methods Results The mean age of the smokers was 47.90 and most had had up to eight years of schooling, and had a family income of less than 1,000 Brazilian Reais. The degree of nicotine dependence was classified, by the mean, 4.45 ± 2.53 points (±SD). There was a significant correlation between nicot… Show more

“…A linear relationship was found between the latency until smoking in the morning and the lapse, relapse, and lapse-relapse latencies. An increase across each category (smoking within 5, 6-30, 31-60 and after 60 minutes) tended to be associated with meaningful increases in lapse and relapse latencies [ 30 - 32 ]. Specifically, smokers who waited a shorter time before smoking their first cigarette, were more likely to have high nicotine dependence.…”

“…Due to the short half-life of nicotine, the plasma nicotine levels of very dependent smokers becomes exhausted by the time that they wake up. These smokers tend to experience great discomfort if they do not smoke their first cigarette quickly in the morning [ 32 ]. Each cigarette immediately decreases the craving, but desensitizes nicotine receptors and increases their number, thus increasing the urge for the next cigarette.…”

“…Contrastando com estudos semelhantes, apresentaram-se principalmente tabagistas com baixa escolaridade, prevalecendo o ensino fundamental e médio incompleto (9)(10)(11) . Este é um dos fatores que podem influenciar no sucesso ou não da cessação do tabaco, uma vez que indivíduos com menos anos de estudo apresentam maior dificuldade para cessar o vício devido ao baixo grau de instrução por eles adquiridos no decorrer dos anos (4,7,9,(12)(13) .…”

“…A principal substância responsável pela dependência do tabagismo é a nicotina. Conforme estudos, aproximadamente 90% dos fumantes diários são dependentes dela, uma vez que cerca de 25% da nicotina inalada atravessa os alvéolos pulmonares e chega ao encéfalo via sanguínea em 15 segundos, fato este que corrobora para o alto índice de dependência ser causada rapidamente (3)(4) .…”
