    The FTND-ST is a 6-item questionnaire used to assess nicotine dependence in smokeless tobacco users. It addresses behaviors like time to first dip, swallowing tobacco juice, amount used per week, and use when ill. Scores of 5 or more indicate significant dependence, while 4 or less shows low to moderate dependence. Responses are assigned points that are totaled, with higher scores representing greater nicotine dependence.
