The tobacco industry is still profitable and projections are that it will remain so. In the United States this year, the total amount of tobacco sold by tobacco-farmers has increased, even though the number of adults who smoke has decreased.

Each of the following, if true, could explain the simultaneous increase in tobacco sales and decrease in the number of adults who smoke EXCEPT:

A. During this year, the number of women who have begun to smoke is greater than the number of men who have quit smoking

B. The number of teen-age children who have begun to smoke this year is greater than the number of adults who have quit smoking during the same period

C. During this year, the number of nonsmokers who have begun to use chewing tobacco or snuff is greater than the number of people who have quit smoking

D. The people who have continued to smoke consume more tobacco per person than they did in the past

E. More of the cigarettes made in the United States this year were exported to other countries than was the case last year.

答案是A.

我觉得这题A选项和C选项都是错误的。因为C选项同样可以推离出sales decrease and the number of smoker increases。请各位指教

C是可以解释为什么成人吸烟者人数下降了，而烟草销量却上升了，是因为“非吸烟者中咀嚼烟草或嗅鼻烟的人多于戒烟者”。
