Based on the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2015 stated that the percentage of cigarette consumption in the world is 57% for the population of Asia and Australia, the population of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union is 14%, the American population is 12%, the population of Western Europe is 9%, and the population of the Middle East and Africa by 8%. The number of smokers in the world by 20% is one of the causes of death from tobacco and 10% of ASEAN is a smoking area (WHO, 2.

Pictorial Health Warnings listed on cigarette packages have been in effect in more than 40 countries, including Indonesia.

In ASEAN such as Singapore has implemented pictorial health warnings in 2004 and Malaysia in 2009, with each image percentage of cigarette pack size Singapore 50%. Malaysia 60%. The government is currently making policies in the form of government regulation (PP) No. 109 of 2012, regarding the safety of addictive substances in the form of tobacco products for health and Minister of Health Regulation No. 28 of 2013 concerning the inclusion of health warnings and health information on tobacco product packaging. Through the regulation, cigarette manufacturers are required to include scary images of the consequences of smoking on the packaging by 40%, including images of smokers with smoke that forms a skull, mouth cancer, throat cancer, people smoking with children nearby, and blackened lungs due to cancer (Nasution, 2. The policy of picture messages on cigarette packs is regulated in the Minister of Health Regulation No. 28 of 2013 concerning the Inclusion of Warnings and Health Information on Tobacco Product Packaging. The Minister of Health explains in detail the inclusion of health warnings and health information on tobacco product packaging and contains the requirements for the inclusion of the intended health warnings and information, including the type and color of the image, the method of writing, and the location of the placement (S. Siregar, 2. Picture messages on cigarette packs are 40% of the surface of cigarette The purpose of including picture messages on cigarette packs is to prevent teenagers from smoking. By looking at the scary pictures on PHW, adolescent smokers are also expected to be motivated to stop smoking because they see the impact of smoking (Rahmawati, 2. The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia has made various efforts to overcome this smoking habit problem. One of the efforts that have been made by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia is by broadcasting Public Service Advertisements (PSA) entitled the dangers of smoking. Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 32 of 2002 concerning Broadcasting in article 46 paragraph 7 has explained that broadcasters are required to provide time for PSAs broadcast.

The scary image in the Public Service Advertisement (PSA), the dangers of smoking is a persuasive message, which aims to remind smokers about the dangers of smoking. This persuasive message is known as a fear appeal. Fear appeal is a persuasive message based on This message is intentionally made in such a way with the main purpose of scaring The message will scare someone by showing terrible things that will be felt if the person does not do the things suggested by the message (Putri, 2. Tobacco packaging is a marketing tool that has the potential to influence smokers' attitudes and behaviors toward smoking (Lee, 2.

Apart from pack structure changes, brand variant names allow tobacco companies to differentiate products sold in standardised packaging(Morton, 2. According to Rogers . that the presence of an advertisement with a fear appeal will have a stronger influence on the formation of a person's behavior. Fear appeal is also known in the Extended Parallel Process Model (EPPM) theory. The EPPM theory developed by Witte . explains when and how the fear appeal will affect, or will not affect a person. Fear appeals usually use clear language, personal language, accompanied by detailed pictures or bloody pictures, as a strategy. The EPPM formulated consists of five main components, . Scary Impression. Fear. Threat Perception. Perception of Efficacy. Response. EPPM theory also explains how threats can motivate someone in processing a The greater the threat felt by a person, the greater the fear felt. This EPPM theory aims to frighten the target of the message until the target acts according to what has been recommended by the message (Putri, 2. The image on the cigarette pack is a message about health warnings against the dangers of smoking. Health warning images made by the government on cigarette packs include nonverbal communication to reduce active smokers in Indonesia and are expected to be able to influence the values, attitudes, beliefs, motivations, and behaviors of smokers. The government changed the policy of health warning labels in the form of sentences to be in the form of images to attract the attention of smokers to the impact that will occur if smoking so that smokers better understand the impact of smoking if they continue to smoke (Nella. Many people who smoke around them do not have the same experience as those depicted on cigarette packs. they believe that having images of advertisements warning of the dangers of smoking has no effect on their health or is the same thing as not having images of advertisements warning of the dangers of smoking (Nasution, 2. According to Ali, . and P. Siregar, . that persuasive communication in good interpersonal relationships between active smokers and their partners who are passive smokers can lead to a reduction in smoking intensity from active smokers.

This is because this perception is certainly strongly influenced by psychological factors from each person to the illustrations that cause the most fear-based on one's experience of the impact of cigarettes for users whom they know are afraid of warnings about the dangers of smoking on cigarette packs(Sutton, 2.

The increased use of color descriptors following the introduction of standardised packaging suggests that tobacco companies may be using brand variant names to communicate product characteristics or evoke memories of fully-branded packaging. Only one study has examined how consumers react to brand names on cigarette packaging in a market that has implemented standard packaging(Skaczkowski, 2. Smokers were randomly assigned to smoke a cigarette from one of two standardised cigarette packs, one bearing a premium brand name and the other bearing a value brand name. the cigarettes contained in both packs were identical (Greenland, 2.

Therefore, the decision-making process to smoke is strongly influenced by the environment (Laiya, 2. According to Tantri . there is a motivational drive from within to not smoke or reduce the number of cigarettes consumed after seeing and reading advertisements warning of the dangers of smoking on cigarette packages. The image on the cigarette pack is a message about health warnings against the dangers of smoking (Joanna, 2.
