　　分析：

　　这篇文章讲述了吸烟有害健康，健康部门采取了一项新的措施来帮助人们戒烟。这项措施的可行性存在着争议。1.根据SmokersinEnglandhavebeenaskedtogiveupsmokingfor28daysthismonthinanactionbackedbyCancerResearchUKandtheBritishHeartFoundation.以及TheactionhasmetsomedoubtsamongreadersoftheBBCNewsOnlinewebsite.故选A。2.根据Quittingsmokingcanbedifficult.以及RobertWestDirectorofTobaccoStudiesatUniversityCollegeLondonpointsouthowpressurefrompeoplearoundcanpreventasmokergoingonsmoking.“Wearesocialanimals”hesaid.可知“gocoldturkey”意思是突然停止，故选C。3.根据RobertWestDirectorofTobaccoStudiesatUniversityCollegeLondonpointsouthowpressurefrompeoplearoundcanpreventasmokergoingonsmoking.“Wearesocialanimals”hesaid.所以答案为C。4.根据AnotherreaderCazzhasdecidedtogiveitsomecredit.Hesays:“Campaignslikethiswon’tnecessarilyinspirethemajorityofsmokerstoquitbutmayencouragethosethinkingaboutquittingtosetadateandtry.Surelyit’sworthashot.”可知Cazz认为值得一试，是赞同的态度，因此选D。
