Question

The U.S. government has a plan in place to reduce tobacco use to the point that it is no longer a public health problem. One of the objectives is aimed at tobacco use cessation. Based on the meaning of the word "cessation," which of the following could be that objective?

Establish policies that reduce exposure of children and adults to secondhand smoke

Implement policies that reduce tobacco use and initiation among youth and adults

Increase the access, affordability, and use of programs aimed at quitting smoking

Restrict tobacco advertising and increase the penalties for tobacco sales to minors

Answer 1

Cessation means to end something.

The answer will be

Implement policies that reduce tobacco use and initiation among youth and adults

Answer 2

The correct answer is Implement policies that reduce tobacco use and initiation among youth and adults

Cessation means to end something, so here if you implemented policies that prevent use, such as imposing a public smoking ban or similar, you would cause it to be drastically reduced. Tobacco advertising is already banned in numerous countries and people still consume tobacco so it's not really that effective.
