[en] Research on warning labels printed on cigarette packages has shown that fear inducing health warnings might
provoke defensive responses. This study investigated whether reformulating statements into questions could
avoid defensive reactions. Smokers were presented with either warning labels formulated as questions,
textual warning labels, graphic warning labels, or no warning labels. Participants’ smoking-related risk
perception was higher after exposure to warning labels formulated as questions or no warning labels than
after exposure to textual or graphic warning labels. These results indicate that reformulating statements into
questions can avoid defensive responses elicited by textual- and graphic warning labels.
