Knowledge about lung cancer (β=-.407, p<.001), preventive health behaviors about cancer (β=-.223, p<.001) and the smoking period (5years≤) (β=.198, p=.001) were identified as the factors influencing nicotine dependency of the subjects. The model explained 33% of variance in nicotine dependency (F=20.49, p<.001).CONCLUSION:
