| Popis: | Few studies have examined predictors of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) product use among adolescents. Using a population-based sample of 14- to 18-year-olds, we examined if self-rated addiction and Heaviness of Smoking Index (HSI) were associated with NRT use in 913 daily smokers. The ever-use prevalence of NRT was 24%. Boys smoked more cigarettes per day than girls and scored higher on HSI, but they perceived themselves to be less addicted. Compared to nonusers, a greater proportion of NRT users perceived themselves as addicted and demonstrated greater dependence on HSI. Perceiving oneself as addicted and having high HSI scores were associated with NRT use. |
