An independent medical research team recently did a survey at a mountain retreat founded to help heavy smokers quit or cut down on their cigarette smoking. Eight percent of those smoking three packs a day or more were able to cut down to one pack a day after they began to take SmokeFree with its patented desire suppressant. Try SmokeFree to help you cut down significantly on your smoking.

I get III "A survey conducted at a mountain retreat to aid smokers may yield different results than one would expect under other circumstances"but not II "A medicine that is effective for heavy smokers may not be effective for the population of smokers generally". How can we stablish II.

It is mentioned in the passage that the suppressant only helped 8% of the smoker population. But, the conclusion is a more generalized statement. Hence 2 is also a critique against the conclusion.
Hope this helps.
