Abstract:
Tobacco consumption, in both smoking and smokeless forms, is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Research has shown that anti-smoking campaigns can help in reducing cigarette smoking prevalence. Literature suggests that social influence through informational and emotional appeal in anti-smoking messages for quitting is particularly useful. In light of such previous findings, the aim of the present research was to explore gender variation in the perceived effectiveness of anti-smoking mass media interventions among smokers and nonsmokers. The results were found to be statistically significant for smokers and non-smokers, hence establishing that non-smokers perceive anti-smoking campaigns to be more effective than smokers. These results may provide insights for anti-smoking ad developers, and also give an understanding of whether the content needs to vary with regard to the gender and smoking status of the audience it is directed for.
