“…Nicotine dependence was assessed using the Fagerström item BHow soon after you wake up do you usually smoke your first cigarette?^based on previous research showing this one item to be most predictive of abstinence [66][67][68][69][70]. Readiness to quit (using the Biener and Abrams Contemplation Ladder; 0 = not ready to quit to 10 = ready to quit now) [71] and self-efficacy to quit smoking (using five items from the Condiotte and Lichtenstein Confidence Questionnaire) [72] were administered at baseline and re-assessed during followup measurement points based on the answer to current tobacco use.…”
