The address of this nicotine-dependence test proposed by the comby institute (www.comby.org) is : http://www.comby.org/tabac/testen.htm Can you try this test and let me know the results for you? The same site also proposes a stress test and information on how to quit smoking. Keep me informed! Hoping to hear from you soon."

Whether you are dependent or not, whether you smoke a little or a lot, the best thing you can do for your health and well-being is to STOP smoking. Everyone around you will surely be grateful for that and thank you for it. Smoking is not only an individual dependence, it is also a societal problem.
