Children and adolescents below the age of consent are incapable of making determinations on their own behalf when exposed to cigarette advertising and promotion. They need protection from those who seek to stimulate their desires for harmful goods. Cigarette smoking once commenced is driven by the addictive power of nicotine. By restricting advertising and promotion to children, limits would also be imposed on adults. The empirical argument to support the ban is:
(A) when children receive a free cigarette, they begin smoking routinely
(B) outdoor advertising effects child behavior
(C) advertising leads to erratic adult smoking behavior
(D) restricting advertising will decrease smoking by children
