THE ANSWER = C

The best answer to the question: Which of the following factors might make tobacco use more appealing to teens? Would be, C: Tobacco is easy to obtain. Not only that, but it is socially acceptable, it is used to form connections with peers, and it is not illegal, as other substances are.

Explanation:

Tobacco has been a part of society for a very long time. Although today there is a very intense campaign to decrease the consumption of this substance, at all levels, in society, and smoking has been prohibited in public places in many nations of the world, it is very much done today, and especially amongst teens. The reason is, of course, that tobacco is easily accessible to them. But not only that, tobacco is accepted by society, and even praised sometimes as the act of a grown-up. Also, tobacco has been associated, thanks to marketing campaigns, to forming social bonds, and friendship, so many teens actually do it not only because they have seen older adults doing it, but also because their peers do it. Finally, tobacco is appealing because aside from those benefits mentioned before, it is cheap (when compared to other substances) and it can be acquired without much problem from vendors, and even from parents themselves. This is why the best answer is C.
