根据Fagerstrom耐受性问卷，开发了两个量表来测量无烟烟草使用者的依赖性。两个量表的总分与受试者的唾液可替宁水平呈正相关，几个单独的项目产生同样的正相关。回归分析产生了两个子集的三个项目，从每个规模预测可替宁水平。在这两个模型中，清醒后30分钟内使用无烟烟草的报告都是预测因素。为了测量无烟烟草依赖，应注意与唾液可替宁水平相关的单个项目，这些项目可用于确定戒烟努力的方向。未来的研究还应该开发针对鼻烟或咀嚼烟草使用的其他项目，并消除对整体量表没有贡献的问题。
Two scales based on the Fagerstrom Tolerance Questionnaire were developed to measure dependence in smokeless tobacco users. The total score for both scales correlated positively with saliva cotinine levels in subjects, and several individual items produced equally positive correlations. Regression analyses yielded two subsets of three items from each scale that predicted cotinine level. Reports of using smokeless tobacco within 30 min of waking served as a predictor in both models. For the purposes of measuring smokeless tobacco dependence, attention should be given to individual items correlated with saliva cotinine levels that could be used to determine the direction of cessation efforts. Future research should also develop additional items specific to the use of snuff or chewing tobacco and eliminate questions not contributing to the overall scale.
