- 分析下列論證中存在的缺陷與漏洞,選擇若干要點,對該論證的有效性進行分析和評述。 豐盛煙草公司開發(fā)了一種新產(chǎn)品——公益香煙。這種香煙的一端有一個探頭,點燃后外側(cè)不冒煙,吸煙者最終將煙全部吸入自己體內(nèi),不會造成別人被動吸煙。因而,特別適合于公共場所或者各種會議期間使用。該公司通過調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)近期各種會議和公共場所吸煙者比例在不斷上升。“公益香煙”的發(fā)明恰好滿足了市場需求,而且在煙草生產(chǎn)技術(shù)上有重大突破,使尼古丁含量大大降低,售價僅比一般香煙高20%,如果將該煙的市場定位于25歲以上受過良好教育的文雅吸煙者,那么,隨著時間的推移,一定會有越來越多的人適應(yīng)并喜歡該煙的口味。因此,公司決策者認為,“公益香煙”的市場需求強勁,最終會成為香煙行業(yè)的主導(dǎo)品牌,為公司帶來豐厚的利潤。
