An inability to maintain abstinence is a key indicator of tobacco dependence. Unfortunately, little evidence exists regarding the ability of the major tobacco dependence measures to predict smoking cessation outcome. This paper used data from four placebo-controlled smoking cessation trials and one international epidemiological study to determine relations between cessation success and the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND), the Heaviness of Smoking Index, the Nicotine Dependence Syndrome Scale, and the Wisconsin Inventory of Smoking Dependence Motives. Results showed that much of the predictive validity of the FTND could be attributed to its first item, time to first cigarette in the morning, and this item had greater validity than any other single measure. Thus the time-to-first-cigarette item appears to tap a pattern of heavy, uninterrupted, and automatic smoking and may be a good single-item measure of nicotine dependence.
无法保持戒烟状态是烟草依赖的关键指标。不幸的是，关于主要烟草依赖测量方法预测戒烟结果的能力，几乎没有证据。本文使用了四项安慰剂对照戒烟试验和一项国际流行病学研究的数据，以确定戒烟成功率与尼古丁依赖的法格斯特罗姆测试（FTND）、吸烟严重程度指数、尼古丁依赖综合征量表以及威斯康星吸烟依赖动机量表之间的关系。结果表明，FTND的大部分预测效度可归因于其第一项，即早晨第一支烟的时间，并且该项目比任何其他单一测量方法具有更高的效度。因此，早晨第一支烟时间这一项目似乎反映了重度、不间断和自动吸烟的模式，可能是尼古丁依赖的一个良好单项目测量指标。
