Abstract

This study investigates the response of educated consumers within a university campus setting to health warning labels (HWLs) on cigarette packaging in Indo-nesia. The research aims to assess consumer perceptions of these labels and quantify changes in cigarette consumption before and after their implementation. The study was conducted at the University of Jember using purposive sampling. Descriptive analytics and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test were employed for data analysis, with a sample size of 120 participants determined using the Lameshow's formula. Findings indicate that most respondents approved of including HWLs but expressed reservations about their accuracy. Despite this, most considered these labels to be essential. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed a significant reduction in cigarette consumption following the introduction of HWLs (p-value = 0.000). Notwithstanding, it is important to acknowledge that the elevated cost of cigarettes due to increasing taxation following the evolution of labelling may have played a role in this decline.
