Studi ini mengkaji secara komprehensif kebijakan area dilarang merokok di ruang terbuka publik sebagai upaya untuk mengurangi paparan asap rokok di mana program dan kegiatannya juga upaya pemerintah dan masyarakat melalui pendidikan dan advokasi dan kesadaran tentang bahaya merokok. Target penelitian mengkaji dan menganalisis kebijakan area bebas rokok di ruang terbuka publik untuk mencegah paparan terhadap asap rokok, sehingga variabel-variabel ini dapat dipelajari secara komprehensif dan holistik kemudian digunakan pendekatan kualitatif.Pada 2017 produksi rokok adalah 341,9 miliar batang. Menurut direktur penerimaan dan peraturan bea dan cukai di direktorat jenderal bea dan cukai Susiwijono ketika melihat angka realisasi produksi rokok aktual pada periode Juli 2014, dapat dilihat bahwa efek dari peraturan Pemerintah No. 109 tahun 2012 terkait hingga ketentuan Peringatan Kesehatan (pictorial health warning) yang mensyaratkan pemasangan gambar peringatan kesehatan 40% dari luas kemasan rokok tidak terlalu signifikan dalam mengendalikan produksi dan konsumsi rokok. Mungkin ada efek pada konsumsi rokok, tetapi tidak terlalu besar. Dari sepuluh perokok terbesar di dunia, Indonesia menempati urutan ketiga setelah Cina dan India. Untuk Surabaya, jumlah pekerja aktif di kalangan anak muda pada usia siswa sangat mengkhawatirkan. Pada Oktober 2012, perokok aktif adalah 12,98% dan 14,3% siswa pernah merokok. Pemerintah kota Surabaya sering melihat bahwa orang yang tidak merokok atau dapat disebut perokok pasif sering mendapatkan efek dari orang yang merokok atau perokok aktif. Tentu saja perokok pasif mendapat kerugian di sini terutama masalah kesehatan dan gangguan lingkungan publik.

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the preference of health-warning message labeling in an eating-away-from-home context. The authors assessed individuals’ preference valuation of such messaging from a dual – consumer and citizen – perspective and with associated expected risk reduction (RR) level.Design/methodology/approachIn an online stated choice experiment on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (N = 658), participants were asked to provide willingness to pay (WTP) preferences for health-warning messages and based on the expected RR from health-warning messages. Two types of multiple price list questions were used for consumer and citizen contexts. Interval regression and descriptive analysis methods were applied to analyze the data.FindingsThe study found that individuals placed a higher value (higher WTP) on health-warning message labeling when acting as citizens rather than as consumers. An RR expectation of 50 per cent was most effective in increasing participants’ WTP. Individuals who ate out frequently were more concerned about healthier food messages, and the influence of gender and age on WTP was conditional on individuals’ roles as consumers versus citizens.Originality/valueThis study extends the theory of consumer-citizen duality to the context of health-related information labeling, thus opening the discussion to extending such labeling from traditionally risky behavior such as alcohol and tobacco to also including food choice behavior. The authors also highlight implications on policy and industry practices to promote healthy food choices through such messages.

ObjectivesThis study examined the effect of pictorial health warning labels (HWLs) on the waterpipe (WP) device on smokers’ experience, puffing behaviour, harm perception and exposure to respiratory toxicants.MethodsThirty WP smokers completed two 45 min ad libitum smoking sessions (WP without HWL vs WP with HWL) in a crossover design study. Exhaled carbon monoxide (eCO) was measured before and after each smoking session. Puff topography was recorded throughout the smoking session, and participants completed survey questionnaires assessing subjective smoking experiences and harm perception.ResultsSignificant differences were observed in eCO levels between the two study conditions, with lower levels of eCO boost recorded following smoking the WP fitted with HWL (16 ppm) compared with WP without HWL (22.7 ppm). Participants had more puffs, shorter interpuff intervals and a higher total puff volume during smoking the WP without HWL relative to WP with HWL (p values <0.05). We documented enhanced reports of satisfaction, taste and puff liking following smoking the WP without HWL compared with the WP with HWL. WP harm perception was significantly higher among participants after smoking the WP with HWL compared with WP without HWL.ConclusionThis pilot study shows that placing HWL on the WP device is effective in reducing WP smoker’s positive experiences, puffing parameters and exposure to carbon monoxide. HWLs lead also to more appreciation of WP harmful effects, making them a promising regulatory approach for addressing the spread of WP smoking among young adults in the USA.
