In the year following an eight-cent increase in the federal tax on a pack of
cigarettes, sales of cigarettes fell ten percent. In contrast, in the year
prior to the tax increase, sales had fallen one percent. The volume of
cigarette sales is therefore strongly related to the after-tax price of a pack
of cigarettes.
Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the argument above?
A. During the second year after the tax increase, cigarette sales increased by
a significant amount.
B. The information available to consumers on the health risks of smoking
remained largely unchanged in the period before and after the tax increase.
C. Most consumers were unaware that the tax on cigarettes was going to
increase.
D. During the year following the cigarette tax increase, many consumers had
less income, in inflation-adjusted dollars, than they had had in the previous
year.
E. During the year after the tax increase, there was a greater variety of
cigarettes on the market than there had been during the previous year.

我想問一下 題目主要不是在討論稅跟銷量的關係嗎?為什麼會跟危害健康有關?
