Official Solution:
Let's evaluate the change in the four categories given in the first drop-down.
• The percentage of current female smokers decreased from approximately 35% to 15%, which is more than twice. Since this option is not available in the second drop-down, we eliminate it.
• The percentage of former male smokers increased from approximately 20% to 25%, which is a 25% increase. Since this option is not available in the second drop-down, we eliminate it.
• The percentage of females who never smoked increased from approximately 100% - (35% + 8%) = 57% to 100% - (13% + 20%) = 67%, which is about a 20% increase. Since this option is not available in the second drop-down, we eliminate it.
• The percentage of males who never smoked increased from approximately 100% - (52% + 20%) = 28% to 100% - (18% + 25%) = 57%, which is approximately doubling. Since this option is available in the second drop-down, this is the correct answer.
Correct answer:
Dropdown 1: "males who never smoked"
Dropdown 2: "approximately doubled"
