D.
Eliminate A,B,C as modifying phrase(marked in red) must modify "california". in E per capita/per person is one of the same thing therefore redundant.

D for me.
Knock out A, B and C immediately because we need 'California' after the comma to avoid modifier issues. Then, I knock E out because saying 'per capita' and 'per person' is redundant.

I go with D, You can eliminate A,B,C straight away because Carlifonia has to come directly after the modifying phrase. E can also be eliminated packs per person is irrelevant, however it it was to be the right choice then It will have to clearly reflect a comparison ("125 packs per person to about 60 packs per person")

D for me as well. Though a thought if we remove California has seen annual per capita consumption of cigarettes decline from over 125 packs per person to about 60, more than twice as great as that then will E correct? I guess not we need drop after comma as referant for that.
