Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
* Assumption I is implicit: A warning notice is printed on a commercial packet with the core expectation that consumers look at and read the contents printed on the packaging.
* Assumption II is implicit: The fundamental purpose of issuing any official warning notice is that people notice it and modify their behavior accordingly.
* Assumption III is not implicit: The statement mentions that smoking harms health; however, it does not mean that non-smoking automatically guarantees or enhances general fitness beyond baseline conditions.
Hence, only assumptions I and II are implicit.
* Assumption II is implicit: The fundamental purpose of issuing any official warning notice is that people notice it and modify their behavior accordingly.
