Individuals who currently smoked (52.9%) were more likely to report exposure compared with those who never (34.7%) or formerly smoked (34.3%). Among those exposed, 53.6% trusted the information, 49.3% supported the court\u2019s mandate, 26.5% thought about friends\/family who smoke and 7.9% wanted to look for more information about smoking risks. 41.1% of individuals who currently smoked and saw the statements reported thinking about quitting. Multivariable analyses indicated that those who smoked or used non-cigarette tobacco products were more likely to report exposure and less likely to support the mandate, while individuals who believed that health recommendations often conflict were less likely to trust the information.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>About one in three US adults\u2014and about half of people who smoke\u2014reported noticing point-of-sale corrective statements in 2024.
