With teenage-smoking on the rise, many companies have introduced e-cigarettes aimed at helping teenagers quit smoking. An e-cigarette simulates the feeling of smoking without all the harmful effects of nicotine. But the teenagers addicted to the nicotine in cigarettes are unlikely to switch to e-cigarettes.
Therefore, the sales of e-cigarettes are not expected to meet the high industry estimates.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A A significant number of smokers well past their teenage will not take to the nicotine-less experience offered by e-cigarettes.
B It is necessary for the smokers to be able to experience the feel of smoking even when they are trying to quit smoking.
C With people not switching to e-cigarettes, it is highly unlikely that there will be any decrease in the numbers of smokers.
D Teenage-smoking is a major concern that is being addressed by companies under their Corporate Social Responsibility agenda.
E Nicotine addiction makes it nearly impossible for some adult smokers to switch from real cigarettes to nicotine-less ones.
