Many countries require cigarette smokers to pay particularly high taxes on their purchases of cigarettes; similar taxes are being considered for unhealthy foods. The policy of imposing high taxes on cigarettes and other unhealthy products has a number of social benefits.
First of all, the taxes discourage people from indulging in unhealthy behaviors. Raising taxes on cigarettes, for instance, leads people to buy fewer of them. Smoking has declined as taxes on tobacco have risen, showing that these taxes do work to make society healthier. It can be expected that imposing similar taxes on unhealthy food and beverages would help reduce obesity rates.
Second, taxes of this kind are financially fair. When people get sick as a result of their smoking or eating unhealthy foods, they create medical costs. It is unfair that everyone in the society, including nonsmokers and people who follow a healthy diet, should contribute equally to covering these costs. Taxing people who engage in unhealthy behaviors creates extra income that can be used to cover the medical costs. In this way, some of the financial burden is shifted from all of society to just those who choose to participate in the unhealthy activities.
Finally, the high rate of taxation on cigarettes significantly increases revenue for the government. In addition to using this tax revenue on medical assistance, governments often use the revenue for other projects that benefit public welfare, such as building stadiums or creating public parks. Even basic government-supported services like public education benefit from these taxes. Thus, the taxes on cigarettes, and the proposed taxes on unhealthy foods, benefit everyone.
Both of the reading and the lecturer discuss the influences of higher taxes of cigarettes and unhealty products. The reading believes that high taxes of these products has some benefites, while the professor contracts the reading's argument.
First of all, the reading of the passage states that the raising taxes on cigarettes force people do not use that, so the society will be in healthy way more than now. The lecturer rebuts this statement by asserting that higher cigarettes' taxes encourage people to use the cheaper ones that have less quality, thus the cheaper ones makes more harms to their bodies probably and smokers will be in high healty risk situation.
Secondly, the author of the reading mentions that high taxes on cigarettes and unhealty food can be fair because the cigarettes users usually need more medical care than nonsmokers and these taxes will be used in medical costs but the lecturer disagrees that idea. He points out higher taxes on cigarettes and unhealty food is unfair decision because the amount of the taxes will be a bigger burdon on low incomer smokers than high earnings smokers.
Finaly, the author of the reading passage says the high rate of taxation on cigarettes and unhealty food increases amount of goverment's revenue and can be used in govermental projects, however the professor believes that the goverment goal is not improve the health of societies because they can prevent people from smoking by banning some poblic and private areas instead of increasing the taxes.But dont want loose this income.
