Although most smoking-related illnesses are caused by inhaling the tar in tobacco smoke, it is addiction to nicotine that prevents most smokers from quitting. In an effort to decrease the incidence of smoking-related illnesses, lawmakers in Sandonia plan to reduce the average quantity of nicotine per cigarette by half over the next five years. Unfortunately, smokers who are already addicted to nicotine tend to react to such reductions by smoking correspondingly more cigarettes.
The information above most strongly supports which of the following predictions about the effects of implementing the Sandonian government's plan?
The average quantity of tar inhaled by Sandonian smokers who are currently addicted to nicotine will probably not decrease during the next five years.
Sandonian smokers who are not already addicted to nicotine will probably also begin to smoke more cigarettes during the next five years than they had previously.
The annual number of Sandonian smokers developing smoking-related illnesses will probably decrease during the next five years.
The proportion of Sandonians attempting to quit smoking who succeed in that attempt will probably decrease during the next five years.
The number of Sandonians who quit smoking during the next five years will probably exceed the number who quit during the last five years.
这个题目其实就是加强结果的,预测如果为真的话,就会出现吸烟的人会吸更多的数量的烟,因为平均每支烟中的尼古丁含量比以前少,但是焦油含量并没有减少,可能造成的结果是尼古丁的吸入量可能比以前少,但是焦油的吸入量一定比以前多。所以是加强这个预测的结果。这个题目有点tricky,首先tar我不认识,而且完全没有料到用这种加强结果的方式加强。
