Comics vs. smoking: a new weapon in the fight against youth tobacco use
NCT ID NCT07453745
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether reading comics about tobacco can help primary school students learn about the dangers of smoking and develop anti-smoking attitudes. About 1,000 students in Hong Kong will either read comics or information sheets. Researchers will compare their knowledge, attitudes, and intentions to smoke to see if comics are more effective.
