BACKGROUND
Variety of smokeable and chewable tobacco products with diverse nicotine content are used in India. Nicotine quantity in tobacco products has a direct bearing on developing tobacco dependence. The present work used this information to derive scores on the Fagerstrom test for nicotine dependence (FTND). It was used to determine the dosing of nicotine replacement treatment (NRT).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Nicotine score quantitation was taken from the previous study. This data was applied to FTND to determine the relationship of nicotine content to the potential degree of dependence.
RESULTS
Application of nicotine quantitation to FTND in a hypothetical experiment significantly altered the scores from medium to high depending on the brand the used.
CONCLUSION
Application of qunatitation of nicotine content in FTND score has implications for the assessment of tobacco dependence and NRT dose. The study implies validation of FTND using nicotine quantity in the consumed tobacco product as a scorable parameter in the FTND.
背景
在印度，人们使用各种尼古丁含量不同的可吸食和可咀嚼烟草制品。烟草制品中的尼古丁含量与烟草依赖的形成直接相关。本研究利用这一信息得出尼古丁依赖的法格斯特龙测试（FTND）得分。该得分用于确定尼古丁替代疗法（NRT）的剂量。
材料与方法
尼古丁得分定量取自先前的研究。将此数据应用于FTND，以确定尼古丁含量与潜在依赖程度之间的关系。
结果
在一个假设实验中，将尼古丁定量应用于FTND，根据所使用的品牌，得分显著从中等变为高。
结论
将尼古丁含量定量应用于FTND得分对烟草依赖评估和NRT剂量具有影响。该研究意味着使用所消费烟草制品中的尼古丁含量作为FTND中的一个可评分参数来验证FTND。
