Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety inventory, Inhaled Carbon Monoxide Concentration Measurement to investigate smoking and Iowa gambling task for risky decision making, this study conducted. The results analyzed by SPSS software version 16 and descriptive tests, Independent Sample T-test and Chi-square.
