Start Your Addictometer TestWhere do you sit on the nicotine dependence scale?
Primarily habit and social triggers. Physical craving is low. Quit plan focuses on ritual replacement.
A mix of physical and psychological reliance. Cravings are consistent but manageable with the right tools.
Strong physical withdrawal and emotional reliance. Needs a structured 90-day behavioural programme.
Deep neurological and emotional dependence. Requires intensive CBQ support, craving management, and daily accountability.
What the Addictometer measures
Most nicotine tests ask how many cigarettes you smoke. The Addictometer goes deeper, measuring the six dimensions that actually determine how hard quitting will be for you.
How soon after waking you reach for a cigarette is one of the strongest predictors of physical nicotine dependence. Under 5 minutes signals severe dependency.
The number of cigarettes you smoke per day, and whether that number rises under stress, maps the baseline of your physiological reliance on nicotine.
Stress, boredom, social situations, meals, or routine- your trigger profile determines which CBQ techniques your quit plan will rely on most heavily.
Irritability, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, headaches- the severity and speed of your withdrawal symptoms reveals the depth of physical dependency.
Do you smoke to relieve stress, loneliness, or low mood? Emotional smokers need a different quit strategy than habit or social smokers- the test captures this.
Failed attempts and your relapse pattern reveal which specific moments and emotions are most dangerous for you- and what your personalised plan must protect against.
Addictometer vs other tests
Standard nicotine tests measure physical dependence alone. The Addictometer is the only test that combines physical, psychological, and behavioural dimensions into one actionable score.

The Addictometer is built around validated nicotine dependence frameworks including ICD-11 classification criteria and behavioural research into smoking trigger patterns. It is not a clinical diagnostic tool and is not a substitute for a GP assessment, but it is a precise and structured instrument for identifying where you sit on the nicotine dependence scale and what kind of quit plan you need.
Under 2 minutes for most people. The test consists of eight focused questions. Your score and personalised roadmap overview are delivered immediately after your last response- no waiting, no email confirmation required.
Your score comes with a personalised quit roadmap overview that identifies your smoker type, your dominant trigger patterns, and your recommended starting point on the Cignix 90-day programme. You can then download the Cignix app on iOS or Android and begin the programme built around your specific Addictometer score.
Yes. The Addictometer measures your nicotine dependence and behavioural patterns regardless of the form in which you use tobacco. Whether you smoke cigarettes, bidis, use khaini, gutka, or any other tobacco product, the test is designed to give you an accurate assessment of your dependence level and trigger profile.
The Cignix platform includes two complementary assessments. The Addictometer measures your nicotine dependence level- how addicted you are and what drives your smoking habit. The SIM Test (Smoking Immunity Meter) measures your psychological resistance to quitting- how ready your mindset is for the quit journey. Both together give you a complete picture of where you start.
Yes. The Addictometer test is fully accessible on any device- mobile, tablet, or desktop- at learn.cignix.com/addictometer. No app download is required to take the test. The Cignix app is available on iOS and Android for the full 90-day programme after you receive your score.
Especially then. Multiple failed quit attempts are not a sign of weakness- they are a sign that previous plans did not account for your specific dependence pattern. The Addictometer identifies the dimensions that caused your previous attempts to fail, which is the most important input for building a plan that will actually work.
