Statement : A smoker has left smoking suddenly a) He will feel restlessness and anxiety. b) He will start gaining weight

Correct answer: D. Only a follows

  • A. Both of them follows
  • B. None of them follows
  • C. Only b follows
  • D. Only a follows

Explanation

Statement a) "He will feel restlessness and anxiety" follows as quitting smoking can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as restlessness and anxiety. This is a common reaction when someone stops a habit they have been addicted to. Statement b) "He will start gaining weight" does not necessarily follow. While some people may experience weight gain after quitting smoking due to increased appetite or changes in metabolism, it is not a guaranteed outcome for all individuals. Weight gain can vary from person to person and is influenced by various factors such as diet, exercise, and individual metabolism. Therefore, only statement a) follows as a likely consequence of quitting smoking.
