The author is providing some evidence to support her claim about the advantages of taxes applied to cigarettes and unhealthy food. However, the lecturer casts doubt on all the ideas mentioned by the author and refute them all.
Firstly, Although the author asserts that these taxes will discourage people from buying cigarettes or similarly, unhealthy food, the lecturer is not convinced and believes that it is not worth the consequences. The passage states that people will consume fewer cigarettes and unhealthy food because of the higher prices, which leads to a healthier society. On the contrary, the lecturer highlights the fact that, the taxes cannot affect people's tendency to buy cigarettes or unhealthy products, and they will only start to consume the ones with lower quality. Hence, in the long-term an unhealthier society is expected.
Furthermore, the author believes that not all the community should pay for covering the costs caused by unhealthy habits like smoking. Therefore, the smokers should pay these taxes and afford their medical costs themselves. In contrast, the lecturer makes this clear by pointing to the class differences in the society. It is obviously hard for a low-earning person to pay high taxes and will not be fair to them if wealthy people are paying the same. Thus, these taxes will create new financial issues for poor people who are addicted to cigarettes or unhealthy food.
Finally, the author mentions that these taxes as a new revenue for the government can be used to provide the budget of the projects that will benefit the public. Conversely, the author opposes this view by pointing to the adverse effects of the taxes on the government's behavior. She believes that the government will rely on these incomes and will not strive to find a fundamental solution to eradicate these harmful habits.
