Answer to Question 1

B
Smoking in adolescence is a very powerful predictor of smoking as an adult.
School assemblies do create captive audiences, but they may not all be listening.
Teenagers are not necessarily more amenable to health-related messages; they may in fact be less willing to listen because of their sense of invincibility.
Health risks from smoking accumulate over time, so they are much worse the longer one smokes.

Answer to Question 2

C, D, E
Consumers, or patients, may bring DTC genetic test results to their health care providers, but these providers might not be knowledgeable enough to interpret the results for them.
Consumers probably do not have enough knowledge about genetic testing to accurately interpret the results of DTC genetic testing, which can cause confusion and fear.
Without professional assessment and guidance, consumers may be swayed into ordering inappropriate genetic testing.
It is possible that a physician might not accept the findings of the tests, but this is not one of the recognized concerns regarding DTC testing.
It is possible that private firms may be more expensive, but this is not one of the recognized concerns regarding DTC testing.
