Effects of Cigarette On-Pack Warning Labels Onsmokers' Perceptions and Behaviour
This research explored smokers’ reactions to pictorial warnings on cigarette packaging, and compared these to new and existing text-only warning labels. Purposive sampling yielded a sample of 310; each respondent saw one of five warning labels and their affective, cognitive and behavioural responses were measured during structured interviews. Respondents perceived the pictorial warning labels to be more credible and effective than the text-only versions, but not more fear inducing. The pictorial warnings elicited higher levels of cessation related behaviours and were perceived as better deterrents to non-smokers than any of the text-only warnings.
