Questionnaire of Smoking Urges information

Description

A 32-item scale designed to measure cravings elicited by abstinence from cigarette smoking. Items in the scale were generated to represent four theoretically and clinically distinct conceptualizations of smoking urges: (1) desire to smoke, (2) anticipation of positive outcomes from smoking, (3) anticipation of relief from nicotine withdrawal or from withdrawal-associated negative affect, and (4) intention to smoke.
