InBorania many people who want to quit smoking wear nicotine skin patches, whichdeliver small doses of nicotine through the skin.  Beginning next month, these patches can bepurchased without a doctor's prescription. Although nonprescription patches will be no more effective than thoseobtained by prescription and will be equally expensive, patch manufacturers arenevertheless predicting that the patches' new nonprescription status will boostsales, which have slowed considerably in recent years.Whichof the following, if true in Borania, most strongly supports the manufacturers'prediction?
A.Most people who wanted to quit smoking and who found the nicotine skin patchhelpful in quitting have quit.
B.Nicotine skin patches generally cost more to use than do other types of aidsthat help people to quit smoking.
C.Several nonprescription aids aimed at helping people to quit smoking have beenwidely available for a number of years.
D.Many smokers who want to quit smoking feel that they cannot afford to visit adoctor for a prescription.
E.People who use nicotine skin patches have approximately the same rate ofsuccess in quitting smoking as do people who use other aids aimed at helpingpeople to quit smoking.


答案是D， 不解的是既然已经说了non-prescription 和prescription 一样贵， 为什么还说要戒烟的人cannot afford to visit a doctor?? 我认为C挺有道理的呀， 因为widely available, 所以销售额也会上升。 谢谢答疑呢！
