| Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of smoking and the status of being affected by the textual and pictorial warnings on cigarette packs in individuals who apply to a family health center for any reason. Methods: This is a descriptive study. After the sample size calculation, 320 individuals were included in the study. A questionnaire prepared by the researchers upon the literature review and Fagerström test for nicotine dependence were used to collect the data. In the study, the data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 packaged software and the significance level was accepted as p<0.05. Results: It was found that the average age of the participants was 38.53±14.21. 40.9% of the participants were smokers. 19.8% had a high level of nicotine dependence. 35.9% stated that they were affected by warnings on cigarette packs. In the study, all the participants’ statuses of being affected by pictorial and textual messages on cigarette packs were compared in terms of their gender and it was found that while men found the textual message of “Smoking damages sperms and reduces fertility” more effective, women found the textual message of “Smoking during pregnancy is harmful to your baby” more effective. On the other hand, the picture showing the couple sitting side by side in bed among the pictures was effective. Conclusion: Smoking cessation interventions, priority can be given to young people and those with low education. In addition, warnings about baby/child and sexuality can be involved more on cigarette packs. |
