The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of pictorial health warnings on cigarette packages on attention bias of smokers. In order to achieve this goal, two studies were performed. Study 1 was performed to determine the difference between the attention allocation about pictorial health warning on cigarette packages between smokers and non-smokers. Study 2 was performed to determine whether experimentally reducing the attention bias for pictorial warning (attention training) can reduce level of nicotine dependence and smoking craving, number of cigarettes smoked per day. In Study 1, participates were divided a priori in two groups smokers (n=19) and non-smoker (n=18). Smokers and non-smokers were asked to perform a visual dot-probe task to assess attention allocation towards cigarette packages with health warnings. In Study 2, forty-five male students were randomly allocated to one of three training groups: ABM, I-ABM, ACC. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: First, smokers directed their attention away from the pictorial warnings on cigarette packages while no effect were observed in the non-smokers. Second, ABM group demonstrated significantly greater reductions in attention away from pictorial warnings than I-ABM group and ACC group. However, ABM condition was not different from other conditions in level of smoking craving and nicotine dependence, number of cigarettes smoked per day.
