Study tests whether warning labels on hookah ads deter young smokers

This study looked at how young adults react to health warnings on waterpipe (hookah) tobacco ads. Over 2,500 participants viewed ads with or without text and graphic warnings about the risks of hookah smoking. Researchers measured emotional reactions, attitudes toward smoking, and how much the ads discouraged use. The goal was to find out which warnings work best to inform young people about the dangers of hookah.
