The counterexample is the people who consume high-fat and high-cholesterol foods. The politician’s reasoning questionable because, if it is unreasonable to force these people to fund the campaign, then it is likely unreasonable to force smokers to fund the campaign.

The smoker does not propose any solution.

The smoker does not state that the politician’s proposal is inadequate. Rather, the smoker implies that the politician’s proposal is unfair because similarly situated groups would not bear the burden of financing the campaign.

The smoker does not suggest that the politician’s proposal would cause people to smoke more cigarettes.
