We tested novel product attribute health warnings (PAHWs) that corrected misperceptions about product harmfulness. PAHWs uniquely influenced outcomes assessing knowledge of industry manipulation of cigarettes, industry-centric negative emotional responses and product-specific smoking dissonance. We aimed to examine if these unique short-term responses predicted subsequent quitting-related behaviours.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We analysed follow-up data from a between-subjects online experiment during which participants were randomised to view PAHWs alone (PAHW condition) or with a complementary video (PAHW+Video) during a baseline session and daily for 7\u2009days.
