In one state, all cities and most towns have antismoking ordinances. A petition entitled "Petition for Statewide Smoking Restriction" is being circulated to voters by campaign workers who ask only, "Do you want to sign a petition for statewide smoking restriction?" The petition advocates a state law banning smoking in most retail establishments and in government offices that are open to the public.

Which of the following circumstances would make the petition as circulated misleading to voters who understand the proposal as extending the local ordinances statewide?

AHealth costs associated with smoking cause health insurance premiums to rise for everyone and so affect nonsmokers.
BIn rural areas of the state, there are relatively few retail establishments and government offices that are open to the public.
CThe state law would supersede the local antismoking ordinances, which contain stronger bans than the state law does.
DThere is considerable sentiment among voters in most areas of the state for restriction of smoking.
EThe state law would not affect existing local ordinances banning smoking in places where the fire authorities have determined that smoking would constitute a fire hazard.

答案给的是E，但是在老帖中支持B\C\E的人都有，各执一词。

我理解的，这个题目提问说：以下哪一个事件，会使得这个请愿变成循环的误导，对于那些把这个提案理解成将地方法规扩大成全国性法规的投票人来说？大家觉得选什么好？
