- 分析下列论证中存在的缺陷与漏洞，选择若干要点，对该论证的有效性进行分析和评述。 丰盛烟草公司开发了一种新产品——公益香烟。这种香烟的一端有一个探头，点燃后外侧不冒烟，吸烟者最终将烟全部吸入自己体内，不会造成别人被动吸烟。因而，特别适合于公共场所或者各种会议期间使用。该公司通过调查发现近期各种会议和公共场所吸烟者比例在不断上升。“公益香烟”的发明恰好满足了市场需求，而且在烟草生产技术上有重大突破，使尼古丁含量大大降低，售价仅比一般香烟高20%，如果将该烟的市场定位于25岁以上受过良好教育的文雅吸烟者，那么，随着时间的推移，一定会有越来越多的人适应并喜欢该烟的口味。因此，公司决策者认为，“公益香烟”的市场需求强劲，最终会成为香烟行业的主导品牌，为公司带来丰厚的利润。
