Antismoking lobbyists have tried to label smoking as a societal concern that must be curbed by government legislation. A problem cant be labeled a social problem, however, unless it harms others without their consent. Governments are powerless to regulate a harmful activity if those who do not indulge in that activity are not at risk.
Which of the following strategies would most likely achieve the lobbyists goal?
A. Quoting legislation that has been drafted to punish drunk drivers
B. Calling for higher luxury taxes on tobacco products
C. Citing the number of cancer-related deaths in the past ten years
D. Compiling statistics about the health hazard of secondhand smoke to non-smokers
E. Boycotting all items produced by tobacco companies and their wholly owned subsidiaries
Kudos for best explanation![]()
