Objective: Despite all the intervention efforts in the fight against smoking; smoking rates have increased, especially among young people. It is possible to reduce this increase by informing the youth correctly and raising awareness about tobacco and tobacco products. For this reason, a project has been implemented in order to gather information about smoking behaviors among university students and to raise awareness about nicotine addiction. Material and Method: Online training on "cigarette/nicotine addiction" was given to students in fifteen different academic units in March 2022. After the training, the 27-question survey was answered by the participants. In the questionnaire, information about the level of knowledge, attitudes/behaviors, approaches, and smoking status of the students about tobacco and tobacco products such as cigarettes, hookahs, and electronic cigarettes were recorded. Results: The mean age of 191 students who answered the questionnaire was 21 and 57% were women. The rate of student who smokes was 33.5% (22% of students are "constantly", 11.5% are "occasionally" smokers). Hookah was the second most widely used tobacco product (18.8%). While the rate of using any tobacco product was 29.4% for female students, 51.2% for male students (p=0.002), and 38.7% in total. It was determined that the smoking of a sibling (p=0.025) or a close friend(p=0.001) increased the probability of the student smoking. The complaints of cough and shortness of breath were found to be twice as high in smokers (40.5%) compared to non-smokers (21.4%) (p=0.014). The rate exposed to secondhand smoke in students of the university was found to be 58%. Even in non-smoker students, the secondhand smoke rate was quite high (47%). Our data showed that students have a high desire to quit smoking, there were many previous attempts to quit but the attempts were unsuccessful. Conclusion: Serious levels of nicotine addiction and passive smoking exposure were found in students. The presence of symptoms such as coughing and shortness of breath indicates a negative effect. It is important that half of the students who smoke have requested "medical support to quit smoking" University students are a good target group in terms of combating smoking and there is a need to increase the struggle in this regard in order for our future to be composed of healthy individuals.

Health communication which emerges as a sub-branch of communication encompasses all communication practices in almost all health related subjects, from health literacy to drug use, from eating habits to sports. In these communication practices which focus on making certain habits, keeping them away from certain actions, raising awareness about health and teaching correct behaviors, it is seen that public service announcement has become prominent. In recent years, the use of public service announcement (PSA) has become widespread by public institutions and non-governmental organizations for the purpose of providing useful information and raising awareness on the grounds of public interest. In this context, the concept of health communication was explained and the use of public service announcement (PSA) as communication application was discussed in this study. From 2008, very important legal studies have been carried out to stop smoking as state policy. Total of seven public spots published within the scope of two different anti-cigarette anti-smoking campaigns were examined by the semiotic analysis method and answers were asked about how the meaning was regulated and transferred to convince them to quit smoking. As a result of the research, it was understood that the six public spots read by the indicators were addressed to the feeling of fear, in the recently published public service announcement of the second campaign the strategy has been changed by focusing on positive results that would encourage quiting smoking.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to provide reference material for further regulations which are to be made concerning the opinions of youth about the possible impact of various warning labels. Material and Method: 494 high school students in Ankara were included in the study. A questionnaire, which measures the impact of text-only and graphic warning labels, was distributed under supervision. Participants were asked to evaluate the efficiency of 16 text-only warning labels with the Likert scaling and state the most efficient graphic amongst three for each of these text-only labels. Results: "Smoking during pregnancy harms your baby" was chosen as the most efficient text-only warning label by 70%of the participants. "Smoking can damage sperm and decrease fertility" and "Smoking may reduce the blood flow and cause impotence" were the second and third most efficient text-only warning labels amongst all participants, with a selection percentage of 61.9 and 61.1 respectively. The first message above was considered as the most efficient by more female participants than males, whereas the second and third labels were considered the most efficient by more males than females. The pictures with the most graphic content seemed to be preferred. Conclusion: Participants found the esthetic and sex content messages more efficient than death and disease content ones, which they felt were not yet their concern . It can be speculated that the more visual graphics these messages are enriched with, the more effective they will become. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
