The author concludes that replacing smoking with a healthy habit helps people quit smoking. The evidence is from a study of smokers: all of them participated in a smoking-cessation program, but the group who also did an exercise program found it much easier to quit smoking than the group who didn’t do the exercise program.

The author assumes that the study is reliable—that is, that the study's findings reflect what is true of the general population. The author also assumes that when a smoker stops smoking for one month, that's an indicator of quitting smoking.

Aerobic exercise helps stave off one negative consequence of quitting smoking. This supports the idea that picking up exercise helps people quit smoking, by providing a causal mechanism for how that happens.

The study had a large sample size, and selected participants randomly into the two groups. This makes the study more reliable by eliminating possible confounding factors, which in turn supports the argument.

We don’t care about nonsmokers. We care about how exercise can help smokers quit smoking. This is irrelevant, so does not provide any support for the argument.

Exercise helps diminish tension, which is a negative side effect of quitting smoking. Like (A), this supports the argument by providing a causal mechanism by which exercise can help someone quit smoking.

The people who quit smoking didn’t relapse later on. Thus, the effects weren’t merely temporary. This supports the argument by affirming one of the author's assumptions.
