´ing ´ as nouns
 
1- In our previous test we gave the pupils thefollowing sentence in a � tense/form � task in which the original answer is �Sales � however some pupils used �selling � my question here is whether the �selling � is acceptable. I would appreciate your help.
" However a growing body of research suggest that vaping may be (hazard) ----------hazardous------- and in 2016the us Food and Drug Administration started to enforce rules about the (sell) -----sales/ selling----- production and marketing of trhese products. 
2-  The second example is which choice is more appropriate here: SUPPORTIVE OR SUPPORTING knowing that I feel that supportive is the right choice here but we do also have  encouraging which indicates parallelism
There are a lot of ways to quit smoking and many resources to help you. Family members,
 
(friends and coworkers may be (supportive / supporting / supported) and encouraging but the
desire and (commitment / treatment / advice) to quit must be your own.)
 
 
Many thanks in advance dears.

I would stick with �sales production � - it �s a set phrase. �Selling � would be OK on its own... �to enforce rules about the selling of �. I hope someone with a business background might also reply to you as I don �t really know what sales production is. 
 
2. Definitely �supportive �.
