Introduction Various anti-tobacco promotions have emerged in order to reduce the detrimental impacts of tobacco advertising on adolescents. The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between the exposure to anti-smoking messages and Indonesian youth smoking behavior. Method We used secondary data from the Indonesian 2019 Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS). The participants were students from grades seven to twelve. We used multiple logistic regression to assess the relationship of anti-smoking messages exposure on the smoking behavior variable. We used complex samples process logistic regression to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and controlling for relevant covariables. Results The percentage of the exposure to anti-smoking messages in all types were not more than 25% in each outcome variables. The results also showed that in the current smoker variables, adolescent who exposed to the two variables of anti-smoking messages increased the odds to become current smoker. The variables were anti smoking messages in media (AOR 1.41; 95% CI 1.15–1.73) and in school (AOR 1.26; 95% CI 1.06–1.50). On the other hand, in the smoking susceptibility variables, there were no variables of anti-smoking messages that had relation with it. Conclusions The study concluded that there were only two variables of the anti-smoking messages that had relation with the Indonesian youth smoking behavior, which were current smokers. Unfortunately those variables increased the odds of the respondents to become current smokers. Indonesia government should develop media following international best practices to convey the anti-smoking messages.

“…The chances of being addicted to smoking are high, and one of the factors that pushed the smoking initiation among youth is peer pressure, and they wanted to try it out of curiosity. Peer pressure is one of the most potent factors for the youth to go for smoking habits (Tupas, 2020). Smoking initiation can be reduced by educating students and families on the possible adverse health consequences of tobacco use should be part of the curriculum in schools (Harvey et al, 2016).…”

“…Anti-smoking messages are said to be effective because this kind of campaign is noticeable by youth and was beneficial to educate the youth on the possible health effects of smoking (Tupas, 2020). However, there are still uncertainties over the impacts of warnings using pictorial versus just text, for how long the impact will persist (Borland et al, 2009).…”

Tobacco consumption, including cigarette smoking, has a significant and increasing global public health burden. Despite recent declines in incidence, its adverse effects on human health increases the risk of several cancers. This study explained the non-price strategies that directly influence smokers' intake and initiation and the problem of long-term tobacco exposure by second-hand smokers and those affected by the media or their environment. Higher cigarette taxes and tighter regulations and enforcements, restricting who can purchase tobacco products, are prevention examples that equate to the cessation process. The research contributed to the area of study regarding the optimal control on tobacco use since it examined the findings of the performed survey to understand the influence of non-price strategies such as graphic health warnings on the young smoking intention. To substantiate the relationship between non-price policies and tobacco usage, it explores the purposively selected participants for the study, Filipino male or female youth smokers and non-smokers with an age qualification between 15 and 30 years old. The study illustrates that to promulgate awareness regarding the risks of vicious substance intake, the government must implement substantial compliance and aversion through specific indicators from this research model.
