Fagerström Nicotine Dependence Test for Cigarettes and Vapes with Instant Result

For: Smokers and vapers, about themselves · Takes 1 minute · Reviewed by Dr. Pichayut Kasemphakdeephong (Psychiatrist), 7 September 2026

The Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence is the standard tool used by stop-smoking clinics worldwide to measure how physically dependent you are on nicotine. The result tells you whether quitting on your own is realistic or whether medication under a doctor’s care is likely to be needed.

For vapers, the test uses the e-FTND wording, which counts the number of times a day you pick up the device rather than cigarettes, because vapes are usually used in short sessions rather than finished in one go. The result is not a diagnosis, and your answers are not stored.
