While the United States introduced the world’s first health warning on cigarette packs in 1966, it took until 2001 for Canada to introduce the world’s first pictorial warning. Today, over 100 countries and jurisdictions have mandatory pictorial warnings on cigarette packs. While evidence strongly suggests that pictorial warnings should be used rather than text-only warnings, 1 the jury is still out on which types of pictures and messages are most effective. The articles in this month’s issue use a range of methodologies, including online experiments, eye-tracking studies, and longitudinal surveys, to examine not only which health warnings should be used on cigarette packs but also on smokeless tobacco products, e-cigarettes, tobacco advertisements, and the cigarettes themselves.In a large online study, Evans and colleagues 2 showed adult and adolescent smokers either a text-only warning, the same text with a low-emotion pictorial or the same text with a high-emotion pictorial. Unlike many studies in this field, participants viewed the health warnings multiple times over a 2-week period, which better replicates how smokers interact with health warnings in real life. The authors find that a greater emotional response to the warnings was related to increased risk perceptions of smoking, which in turn was related to increased quit intentions. Interestingly, while high-emotion pictorials elicited the greatest emotional response, the low-emotion pictorial warnings elicited an emotional response even lower than the text-only warnings. This important finding suggests that simply placing any pictorial on warnings is not sufficient to increase risk perceptions and intentions to quit; the content of the pictorial is crucial.
