City councilperson: Last year, our town paid for a robust social media campaign to publicize the dangers of nicotine vaping to teens. The campaign was in large part funded by a tax levied on all tobacco and nicotine products purchased in town. Therefore, the campaign should be self-sufficient for as long as there is a concern regarding the number of teens vaping in our town.
Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the city councilperson’s argument?
A. Residents of the town in question do not purchase tobacco or nicotine products in any significant quantity from other localities.
B. Recent surveys have indicated that teens living in the councilperson’s town are more likely to vape than are teens in neighboring cities.
C. Tobacco use in the councilperson’s town has declined greatly since vaping products have become more readily available in the marketplace.
D. Other social media campaigns sponsored by the town in question have had mixed results.
E. Many voters in the town doubt the necessity of the social media campaign to publicize the dangers of vaping to teens.

Choice C: No. That tobacco use has declined has no definitive impact on the argument.
