Cigarette pack warnings are widely used internationally for reducing smoking behaviour. Current warnings typically consist of a textual or graphic warning that smoking can lead to negative (health) outcomes. Though these warnings have proven benefits, they also have important limitations. Most notably, they do not produce beneficial changes in important cognitive determinants of smoking cessation such as self-efficacy to refrain from smoking and they do not reduce smoking for specific subsets of the target population. Recent studies provide evidence for the effectiveness of health warnings that include health-related testimonies from former smokers.

使用前吸烟者的证词评估警告对吸烟和戒烟行为的影响

香烟包装警告在国际上广泛用于减少吸烟行为。当前的警告通常由文字或图形警告组成，即吸烟会导致负面（健康）结果。尽管这些警告已被证明是有益的，但它们也有重要的局限性。最值得注意的是，它们不会对戒烟的重要认知决定因素（例如戒烟的自我效能）产生有益的变化，并且它们不会减少目标人群特定子集的吸烟量。最近的研究为健康警告的有效性提供了证据，其中包括前吸烟者与健康相关的证词。
