Explanation:

The statement "Everyone knows that keeping a healthy weight and not smoking are the best ways to manage blood pressure" is an opinion. Just because it's a common - sense view doesn't make it an absolute fact. There could be other equally effective ways for some individuals, and the use of "everyone knows" is a generalization. The other statements are either factual information about the release of guidelines or the existence of drugs for treatment.

Everyone knows that keeping a healthy weight and not smoking are the best ways to manage blood pressure.
