Now add up your score
7 to 10 points = highly dependent on nicotine.
4 to 6 points = moderately dependent on nicotine.
Fewer than 4 points = less dependent.
The higher your score, the more likely you are to have withdrawal symptoms if you give up smoking; also, the withdrawal symptoms are likely to be stronger.

Safer than cigarettes? The rise of vaping in schools
The range of playful vape flavours, colours, and shapes may look a lot less scary to a child than the gory, unnerving photos of diseased organs on cigarette packets - but is vaping really that much safer?
