| Description | The cigarette text warnings are considered as one of the most effective ways to convey information on the health consequences of smoking. The aim of our study was to assess the emotional impact of cigarette text warnings used in the Czech Republic on a sample of basic schoolchildren. Our results showed that the existing text warnings are assessed by children and adolescents as arousing and very unpleasant; thus they could greatly support both the primary and secondary preventions of smoking. However, to intensify avoidance of smoking, the future text warnings should generate a more negative valence and arousal. |
