Vested interests refer to individuals or groups who have a personal stake or financial interest in a particular issue or industry. In this scenario, the cigarette industry and its various stakeholders have a vested interest in the continued production and sale of cigarettes. Therefore, they would likely oppose the legislation that bans their sale anywhere in the country. The other choices are not relevant in this context. Culture lag refers to the delay in the acceptance of new cultural norms or practices. Nonmaterial culture refers to the non-physical aspects of culture, such as beliefs, values, and norms. Luddites are individuals who oppose technological progress and aim to maintain traditional ways of working.
