The chi-squared test was applied to compare categorical variables between the 2015 and 2018 groups. RESULTS The student participants had mean age of 14.8 ± 0.49 years (2015) and 14.9 ± 0.53 years (2018), and, by coincidence, both groups had 51.9% boys and 48.1% girls.

Although anti-smoking campaigns were frequently carried out and various anti-smoking messages were delivered through various media but the number of smokers in Indonesia continued to increase. This study investigates how far can anti-smoking messages be effective among university students and how much do they want to quit smoking? Four variables were examined considered to influence the willingness to quit smoking: demographic factors, trust in campaign messages, attitudes, and smoking frequency. This study uses a survey method involving 502 students domiciled in the capital of Jakarta and its surrounding area. Correlation statistics, standard multiple regression, and hierarchical multiple regression were used to analyze the data. According to the findings, demographic characteristics have a substantial impact on smoking cessation message confidence and attitudes toward cessation campaigns. The three demographic characteristics surveyed are also highly connected with the frequency of smoking. Finally, all four variables had a substantial effect on smoking quitting motivation, with smoking frequency having the biggest effect (R 2 = 23%), followed by self-confidence and attitude, both of which had a similar effect (R 2 = 22%). Finally, demographic factors had the smallest impact.
