Each of the underlined premises can be taken as an unacceptable premise in an argument. In each case, identify the condition of premise unacceptability

Premise: Most people dislike quitters

Conclusion: Therefore, I shouldn’t quit smoking

I`m having trouble with this question, if someone could help it would be much appreciated, thanks

The word "quitters" is ambiguous, so the premise is unacceptable.
