Despite presence of treatment facility, majority of the smokers do not seek treatment for smoking cessation. It is important to know the treatment seeking behaviors among smokers. Fagerström test of nicotine dependence was administered on 54 male smokers from 15 to 60 years of age.

These results have implications for individual and community intervention.
