One thousand people in Denmark were questioned about their views on banning cigarette advertising. The sample comprised adults who are representative of the general population, and who, ten years previously, had been questioned on the same issue. Interestingly, their opinions changed little. Results show that 31 percent are in favor of such a ban, 24 percent are against it, 38 percent are in favor, but only for certain media, and 7 percent have no opinion.

Summary
A study in Denmark examined people’s views on banning cigarette advertising. The sample was asked similar questions ten years ago, and their answers did not change much. 31% were in favor of the ban, 24% were against it, 38% were in favor, but only for certain types of media, and 7% had no opinion.

Strongly Supported Conclusions
Most of Denmark’s population supports some form of a ban on cigarette advertising.

A
People’s opinions never change very much.
This is too strong to support. The stimulus only says that people’s views on this issue did not change very much, not that people’s opinions *never* change on everything else.
B
A minority of Denmark’s population feels that banning cigarette advertising would set a bad precedent.
There is no support for *why* the people who oppose the ban. They might just really enjoy cigarette advertisements.
C
Most of Denmark’s population is not seriously concerned about cigarette advertising.
There is information about the percentage of people who are “seriously concerned.” Also, most of the respondents were in favor of some form of ban.
D
Most of Denmark’s population favors some sort of ban on cigarette advertising.
31% + 38% = 69% (a majority) of the population. Although the 38% have some reservations about the ban’s implementation, they still support some form of the ban.
E
Most of Denmark’s population does not smoke cigarettes.
There is no information about the percentage of Denmark’s population that smokes. You must assume that if you are in favor of a ban, you do not smoke.
