- The classification of dependence includes respondents using only acute-acting single-dose NRT. Patch, e-cigarette and inhaler users were omitted (n = 75). The time intervals in the columns indicate time to first NRT after waking. The intervals given in the rows indicate number of NRT doses per day.
-
aHighly nicotine dependent respondents (score 5–6) = 9.3% (N = 7).
-
bRespondents found low dependent on nicotine (score 0–1) = 22.7% (N = 17). Respondents moderately dependent on nicotine (score 2–4) = 68.0% (N = 51).
