Question

1. what is often falsely claimed about vaping in advertisements?

a. it is just flavored air
b. it helps you exercise better
c. it improves lung function
d. it is less expensive than smoking

Explanation:

To determine the false claim about vaping in ads, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Vaping products contain chemicals and aerosols, not just flavored air. Ads often falsely claim it's just flavored air to downplay health risks.
• Option b: Vaping has no proven link to better exercise, and this is not a common false ad claim about vaping.
• Option c: Vaping harms lung function, so claiming it improves lung function is false, but it's less common as a false ad claim compared to portraying it as harmless (like "just flavored air").
• Option d: Cost comparison with smoking is more factual (though still variable) and not a typical false ad claim about vaping's nature.

The most common false claim in vaping ads is portraying it as just flavored air (harmless), so option a is correct.

Answer:

a. It is just flavored air
