TPO 53- 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.
The reading passage and the listening section are both discuss increasing taxes of cigarettes to regulate this unhealthy products. The article proposes some arguments which seem convincing, however, the speaker casts doubt about them. Therefore, the speaker delve into three reasons and examples supporting her arguments.
First of all, the article indicates that raising taxes on cigarettes brings people about purchasing fewer of them. Nonetheless, the speaker disagrees with this viewpoint and argues that high taxes can not bring people be healthier. People, who have smoking, tend to buy unhealthy food and save money to purchase cigarettes. This behavior causes these people being unhealthier.
Secondly, the article mentions about that increasing taxes is fairly financial for every citizens. Nevertheless, the speaker disapproves this statement since this method does not consider different income from the smokers. This approach leads a big burden for the people who is relatively low income.
Last but not least, the article suggests that the raising taxes provides lots of revenue for the government. As a result, it have to be encouraged since this revenue can be used on improving public welfare but the speaker has converse comment. The speaker asserts that this considerable revenue will cause the government rely on it and do not want to loose it. Consequently, the government would not regulate a strict low to ban the smoking because the government require this income.
