Abstract

Background: The effectiveness of warning labels on tobacco products in conveying health risks and promoting smoking cessation has been extensively studied. However, with the rise in electronic cigarette (E-cigarette) usage, there is a need to assess the impact of warning labels specifically tailored to this emerging market. This study aims to fill this gap by examining the effectiveness of warning labels on E-cigarette packaging in influencing smokers' perceptions and intentions to quit.

Method: A laboratory experiment was conducted, involving 180 participants comprising both conventional smokers and E-cigarette users. There are three experimental designs used in this research, which are subjected to conventional smokers and E-cigarette smokers. Participants were randomly located within each of the six cells. Each cell was given a different stimulus.

Results: The study revealed that warning labels on E-cigarette products significantly influenced participants' perceptions and intentions to quit smoking. Specifically, E-cigarette users perceived packaging with warning labels differently from those without. Moreover, visual warning labels were found to be more effective than textual ones in eliciting perceptions and intentions to quit smoking.

Conclusions: These findings underscore the importance of warning labels in conveying health risks and promoting smoking cessation intentions among E-cigarette users, offering valuable insights for public health strategies.

评估电子烟产品警告标签的影响及其在塑造用户戒烟观念方面的功效。
背景:烟草制品警示标签在传达健康风险和促进戒烟方面的有效性已被广泛研究。然而,随着电子烟使用量的增加,有必要评估专门为这个新兴市场量身定制的警告标签的影响。本研究旨在通过检查电子烟包装上的警告标签在影响吸烟者的认知和戒烟意图方面的有效性来填补这一空白。方法:采用室内实验方法,对180名普通吸烟者和电子烟使用者进行实验。本研究中使用了三种实验设计,分别针对传统吸烟者和电子烟吸烟者。参与者被随机分配到六个细胞中的每个细胞中。每个细胞都受到不同的刺激。结果:研究表明,电子烟产品上的警告标签显著影响了参与者的戒烟观念和戒烟意图。具体来说,电子烟用户对带有警告标签的包装的感知与没有警告标签的包装不同。此外,视觉警告标签被发现比文字警告标签更有效地引发认知和戒烟的意图。结论:这些发现强调了警告标签在传达健康风险和促进电子烟使用者戒烟意愿方面的重要性,为公共卫生战略提供了有价值的见解。
