Answer: Straw man.

Explanation:

A straw man refers to a form of argument of refuting an argument, Eben though the argument's real subject was not addressed but rather the argument was replaced with a false one.

In this case, another person's argument is being taken by someone else. Then, the person either exaggerates it or distorts and then attacks the distortion without arguing on the main claim.

The statement that "My opponent would have you believe that lung cancer can be cured simply by posting "No Smoking" signs on anything

that stands still" is straw man. Here, the main argument regarding lung cancer isn't addressed.
