The objective of this research was to compare the response of adult smokers in Malaysia to newly proposed pictorial cigarette warnings against the current text-only warnings. The study population included 140 adult male smokers who were enrolled in a randomized trial to view either the new pictorial warnings (intervention) or the old text-only warnings (control). Participants completed pre-exposure and post-exposure questionnaires that assessed their awareness of the health risks of smoking, response to the package warnings, and interest in quitting smoking. Exposure to the pictorial warnings resulted in increased awareness of the risks of smoking, stronger behavioral response to the warnings and increased interest in quitting smoking. The new warnings in Malaysia will increase smokers' knowledge of the adverse health effects of smoking and have a positive effect on interest in quitting.
本研究旨在比较马来西亚成年吸烟者对新提出的图片香烟警告与当前仅文字警告的反应。研究人群包括 140 名成年男性吸烟者，他们参加了一项随机试验，以观看新的图片警告（干预组）或旧的仅文字警告（对照组）。参与者在暴露前和暴露后完成了问卷，评估了他们对吸烟健康风险的认识、对包装警告的反应以及戒烟的兴趣。暴露于图片警告会增加对吸烟风险的认识，对警告的行为反应更强烈，并且增加戒烟的兴趣。马来西亚的新警告将增加吸烟者对吸烟对健康的不利影响的认识，并对戒烟产生积极影响。
