Viet Nam is among the countries having highest rate of male smokers in the world. The country has joined the Global Tobacco Surveillance System since 2010. Under this system, two rounds of Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) were conducted in 2010 and 2015. Those two surveys provide excellent comparable data on tobacco usage and its related aspects in Vietnam. This study using the data from GATS 2015 to examine the salience and impact of cigarette pack health warnings on quitting intention in Vietnam. The Vietnam GATS 2015 was a nationally representative survey in which 9,513 households were selected using two-stage random systematic sampling method. Results of multivariate analysis showed that the strongest predictor for quit intention because of health warnings was "ever made a quit attempt in the past 12 months" followed by "believes that tobacco smoking causes serious illness". Compared to GATS 2010, GATS 2015 observed the increase in salience of cigarette health warnings. However, the current pictorial health warnings are losing their impact on motivating intention to quit. The results highlight that it is time to start the rotation cycle to refresh the current health warning set. Actions to select a new and more impressive set of pictorial health warnings should be developed as soon as possible.
越南是世界上男性吸烟率最高的国家之一。自2010年以来，该国已加入全球烟草监测系统。在该系统下，2010年和2015年进行了两轮全球成人烟草调查（GATS）。这两项调查提供了关于越南烟草使用及其相关方面的出色可比数据。本研究使用2015年全球成人烟草调查的数据，来检验香烟包装健康警示对越南戒烟意愿的显著性和影响。2015年越南全球成人烟草调查是一项具有全国代表性的调查，采用两阶段随机系统抽样方法选取了9513户家庭。多变量分析结果显示，因健康警示而产生戒烟意愿的最强预测因素是“在过去12个月内曾尝试戒烟”，其次是“认为吸烟会导致严重疾病”。与2010年全球成人烟草调查相比，2015年的调查发现香烟健康警示的显著性有所增加。然而，目前的图片健康警示对激发戒烟意愿的影响正在减弱。结果表明，是时候开始轮换周期以更新当前的健康警示组了。应尽快采取行动，选择一组新的、更令人印象深刻的图片健康警示。
