Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Addicted smokers tend to compensate for the decreased nicotine intake by smoking more cigarettes to maintain the desired effects of nicotine. This phenomenon is called "compensatory smoking." Studies have shown that when smokers switch to lower-nicotine cigarettes, they tend to smoke more cigarettes per day, inhale more deeply, and take more puffs per cigarette to make up for the lower nicotine content. Therefore, the best choice is A.
