Abstract

The Questionnaire of Smoking Urges (QSU) assesses one’s desire to smoke based on the combination of positive and negative reinforcers. Because of its high psychometric properties— when compared with other tests of a similar nature—and its ability to count for unique variance in individual’s desires to smoke, this form has become increasingly popular in recent years.¹
