B Correct answer
Explanation

The statement claims smoking raises HDL (good cholesterol) levels. In reality, smoking has the opposite effect - it LOWERS HDL cholesterol levels.

Smoking reduces HDL levels while increasing LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides, contributing to cardiovascular disease risk. Therefore, False is the correct answer.
