How Addicted Are You?
Not all people that smoke have the same level of addiction to nicotine, or experience the same level of withdrawal symptoms when they quit. Therefore it is important to understand how addicted you are to nicotine before you quit, because someone with a high level of addiction will likely have more withdrawal symptoms and cravings than someone with a lower level of addiction.

Knowing how addicted you are can help you decide if you need extra support, such as enrolling with the QuitNow by Phone program (1-877-455-2233), or whether you need stop smoking medications to help you quit. To have the best chance of successfully quitting, you need to know what you are up against.

Complete this brief Quiz to help you understand your personal nicotine addiction level:
