A candidate for governor has suggested lifting the state law requiring cigarette advertisers to print a warning label about the dangers of smoking on every cigarette pack, and instead requiring cigarette manufacturers to publish recent data and studies about the dangers of smoking on websites that the manufacturers will create for this purpose. The candidate argues that the plan will provide consumers with more detailed information so that they may make wise decisions about smoking.

(A) Smoking leads to higher mortality rates.
IRRILEVANT(B) Consumers are willing and able to visit the websites and evaluate the data and studies presented.

IRRILEVANT(D) Most people are not able to break their addictions to cigarettes.
IRRILEVANT(E) Smoking will become more popular if this plan is not enacted.

Consumers are
NOT willing and able to visit the websites and evaluate the data and studies presented.
Does the conclusion now make sense? No, therefore B is the right one
