Smoking dependence in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Abstract
Aiming to estimate smoking behavior and nicotine addiction in smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) compared with smokers not having COPD symptoms, 166 COPD patients were examined comprising 146 smokers (aged 20-55 yrs) and 115 smokers without COPD as a control group. They were experienced to the Fagerstrom test, a motivation to quit test, ventilation and exhaled carbon monoxide assessment. Nicotine dependence in the smoking COPD patients was different from that in the persons without COPD. It also differed in various COPD severity. The motivation to quit was maximal in COPD stage II. The exhaled carbon monoxide should be implemented to verify the nicotine dependence.
