UNC researchers find FDA ‘The Real Cost’ ads reduce teen openness to vaping

Thursday, October 13, 2022 - 3:31pm
A randomized, controlled study with over 1,500 US teen participants from across the nation tested the effectiveness of digital vaping prevention ads. Researchers from UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media, UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health and UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center discovered that “The Real Cost” ads lowered the extent to which teens were open to vaping. The vaping prevention video ads, produced by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), also lowered openness to cigarette smoking. Researchers determined similar effectiveness for “health harms” versus “addiction” themed ads. The former focused on the harmful chemicals emitted by vaping devices and the potential for lung damage caused by vapes. The latter focused on the highly addictive nature of vapes and consequences of nicotine addiction, such as loss of autonomy. The findings appeared Oct. 13, 2022, in the journal “JAMA Network Open.”
