Noticing health warning labels and intentions to quit smokeless tobacco products: results from two Global Adult Tobacco Survey rounds, India

We observe a consistent increase in the noticeability of HWLs and intentions to quit in SLT users, with significant variations across socio-demographic characteristics calling for concerted efforts. SLT being the major form of tobacco usage in India and Asian countries, HWLs alone cannot bring down the consumption rates, and it needs to be supported by strict implementation of SLT legislation for long-lasting impact.
