Text

The AUDADIS was used to diagnose lifetime ND following DSM-IV guidelines (7); however, additional nicotine-specific tolerance experiences were included to improve diagnostic validity (39). Test-retest reliability for ND is good (κ=0.60–0.63) (32). Analyses were carried out among lifetime smokers, defined as having smoked at least 100 cigarettes (N=712).
