The London’s District Court dismissed the damage suit brought by former tobacco addicts against British Tobacco Incorporated and the British Government.
    The six accusers suffering lung cancer and other illness claim their health was ruined by years of cigarette smoking. An editorial in a London newspaper says the court demonstrated lack of understanding of the real dangers of smoking as the health warning put on the cigarette packages is far from enough. The newspaper says telling the smokers that they should "Please be careful.  Not to smoke in excess" is almost like telling them there is no harm done as long as they smoke reasonably. This is a doubled message that docs not clearly warn the smokers of dangers, not to mention the harm of secondary smoke.  The editorial cites a World Bank report that shows the success rate for any individual who tries to stop smoking is badly low and most smokers who quit restart the habit within a year. The paper notes that the simple fact is that their smoking is a hard habit to break. Smoking does cause all sorts of health problems and increase the risk of early death.  That is why it is so important to ensure the young people do not start the habit in the first place.

选项 A、They wanted to be famous.
B、They wanted to win some money.
C、They were charged too much by the tobacco company.
D、They were damaged physically by years of smoking.

答案D

解析 推理题。通过浏览选项可知,他们要做什么或为什么这么做。选项A和B均未提到。他们提出诉讼,不是因为烟草公司收他们钱太多(故C错),而是因为多年的抽烟严重地损坏了健康身患肺癌等病。他们认为烟盒上warning message误导了他们,英国烟草公司和英国政府该为此负责。原文“The six accusers suffering lung cancer and other illness claim their health was ruined by years of cigarette smoking.”说明正确答案为D。
