Abstract

Nicotine dependence is a very rampant problem among population in general but specially in mentally ill patients as they are generally vulnerable to this due to various reasons, there have been many studies done on this in the west but very few studies in India, so we conducted a study in the O.P.D. of our hospital, collected sociodemographic data & applied Modified Fagerstrom’s Test of smoking & smokeless tobacco for Nicotine Dependence, calculated statistical correlates by applying Chi Square test, Mann Whitney scale, Spearman’s Coeffecient.

Keywords: Nicotine, Mental Illness, Tobacco.
