目标.我们评估了加拿大图形香烟警告标签的影响。我们采用了纵向电话调查616成年吸烟者。大约五分之一的参与者报告说，由于标签，吸烟减少了;只有1%的人报告说吸烟增加了。虽然参与者报告了对警告的负面情绪反应，包括恐惧（44%）和厌恶（58%），但报告更大负面情绪的吸烟者更有可能在3个月后戒烟，尝试戒烟或减少吸烟。试图避免警告的参与者（30%）在随访时不太可能考虑警告或进行戒烟行为。政策制定者不应因为担心不利后果而不愿引入生动或形象的警告。
Objectives. We assessed the impact of graphic Canadian cigarette warning labels.Methods. We used a longitudinal telephone survey of 616 adult smokers.Results. Approximately one fifth of participants reported smoking less as a result of the labels; only 1% reported smoking more. Although participants reported negative emotional responses to the warnings including fear (44%) and disgust (58%), smokers who reported greater negative emotion were more likely to have quit, attempted to quit, or reduced their smoking 3 months later. Participants who attempted to avoid the warnings (30%) were no less likely to think about the warnings or engage in cessation behavior at follow-up.Conclusions. Policynnakers should not be reluctant to introduce vivid or graphic warnings for fear of adverse outcomes.
