Within the smoker groups it is aimed to reveal the relationship between nicotine addiction, schemas and parenthood types. 290 participants determined by G. Power analyse method were included to this research. Inform consent forms which explain the scope of the research for voluntary participation, demographic information form, Young Schema Scale, Young Paranthood Scale were distrubuted to all somer and non smoker participants and used for data collection. Apart from all these, Fagerström nicotine addiction scale was used for smoker groups. Data was analyzed by t-test, pearson correlation. Of the smoker participants.51,7% are women and 48,3% are men and the average age of is 22,42±2,78. Of the non smoker participants 49,7% are women, 50,3% are men and avreage age is 22,42±4,16. Among the schema dimensions, failure, pessimism and punishment and among the schema areas, impaired autonomy and other directedness were found to be significantly high (p<0,05).For the mother forms normative, pessimictic/worried, extreme permissive/unlimitedand overprotective/anxious mother forms were found to be high among smoker participants. For father forms normative, belittling/criticizing, extreme permissive/unlimited emotionally depriving/restricted, punitive, pessimictic/worried and exploitative/abusive were found to be high among smoker participants (p<0,05).The relationship between nicotine dependency level and of the schema factors failure, social isolation/alienation, defectiveness/shame and disconnection were found to be positive but weak (p<0,05). It was found to be positive but low level correlation between nicotine dependency level and normative, conditional/achievment focus, explotive/abusive, extreme permisseve/unlimited, pessimistic/worried mother types (p<0,05). For father types on the other hand it was found to be low level of possitive correaltion between nicotine level of dependency and extreme permissive/unlimited (p<0,05).
