the higher ones educational attainment, the more likely one is to smoke.
menthol cigarettes are a safer option than standard cigarettes.

Explanation:

• Cigarettes account for a much larger percentage (over 80%) of tobacco sold in the US, not 50%, so the first option is false.
• Higher educational attainment is inversely related to smoking likelihood (more educated less likely to smoke), so the third option is false.
• Menthol cigarettes are not safer; they may have additional health risks, so the fourth option is false.
• Tobacco smoke contains numerous carcinogens (cancer - causing substances), which makes the second option true.

Answer:

Tobacco smoke contains multiple cancer - causing substances.
