• E. Both I and II are strong

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Only argument I is strong

Clearly, such words on cigaretted packs would warn the smokers beforehead of its adverse effects. So, argument I holds strong. However, smoking is a bad habit with long-term health hazards and is no means of enjoyment. So, argument II is vague.
