Abstract
|
|
|
The graphic health warnings (GHWs) on cigarette packs are an effective smoking cessation policy, which has been implemented since December 2016 in Korea. Based on the results of the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey,
seven in ten adolescents were aware of GHWs on cigarette packs. Eight in ten perceived GHWs on cigarette packs as
conveying that smoking is harmful to health or that one should not smoke. In the future, Korea should pursue a stronger
smoking cessation policy, and the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will continue to monitor smokingrelated indicators and produce basic data for establishing a policy on tobacco control.
