“…In order to increase the satisfaction of smokers and finally to increase the success rate of smoking cessation, it is important to select the appropriate intervention to increase the self‐efficacy of the subject by constructing program contents based on the characteristics and specific needs of the subject (Herold et al, 2016; Lee & Park, 2017; Oh, Im, & Seo, 2018). College students are classified as a difficult group to participate in antismoking programs because they have relatively strong self‐confidence with their health, compared with older adults (Kwon & Bang, 2013). In addition, the research on investigating the preference of smoking college students in Korea, describes that the program contents with long education time are not preferable for people in their 20s (Kim & Song, 2013).…”

Aim: Based on the main concept of reasoned action theory, this study aimed to examine which of the attitude and subjective norms affect the intention of smoking cessation by using four types of antismoking messages: (1) positively and(2) negatively stimulating one's attitude toward smoking cessation; and (3) positively and (4) negatively reflected subjective norms for secondhand smoking. Methods: We conducted a randomized field study in smoking areas in universities located in D city of South Korea. Two hundred and eighty-seven male students who smoke daily were recruited in the field and randomly divided into four experimental groups and one control group. The participants in each experimental group were asked to read attitude/positive, attitude/negative, norm/positive, and norm/negative message. The data of attitude, subjective norm, and intention to stop smoking were collected. Results: There were significant differences in the intention to quit smoking in attitude/negative messages (F = 4.311, p = .015) and norm/positive messages (F = 4.353, p = .014). The effects of subjective norm were greater than those of attitude (p < .001). Conclusion: Emphasizing the positive subjective norm for smoking cessation among young smokers might be effective in persuading them to quit smoking.
