Question

consider this claim: anti - smoking advertisements are the best way to get people to want to quit smoking. which is the strongest evidence to support the claim? the centers for disease control and prevention reported that after a recent campaign of graphic anti - smoking ads, the volume of calls to its toll - free line to quit smoking doubled. anti - smoking advertising was most prevalent in the late 1990s, after a major settlement between tobacco companies and the attorneys general of 46 states, but it has dropped off somewhat in recent years. for several decades, public health advocates have been using television and print advertisements to fight smoking trends.

Explanation:

The first option shows a direct correlation between anti - smoking ads and an increase in people wanting to quit (doubling of calls to quit - smoking toll - free line).

Answer:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that after a recent campaign of graphic anti - smoking ads, the volume of calls to its toll - free line to quit smoking doubled.
