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 author of the reading passage and the professor both discuss whether or not the government should impose high taxes on cigarettes and other unhealthy products. The author agrees with this idea by deliberating three advantages. However, the professor thinks that the author's theories contain some defects.
First of all, the author states that people will buy fewer cigarettes or unhealthy products due to raising taxes on these items. On the contrary, the professor indicates that if the government raise the taxes on cigarettes, smokers would buy the cheap and low-quality cigarettes. And these low-quality cigarettes contain more harmful substances. Similarly to the unhealthy foods, people will still buy the junk food, worse, they don't have money on healthy food at all.
In addition, the author claims that taxing people who engage in unhealthy behaviors creates extra income, and taxes can be used to cover the medical costs. However, the professor refutes the author's idea by expressing that it is unfair to the people who have different income. Lower-income smokers will have much burden than the high-income smokers. It can apply to other unhealthy products.
Finally, the author raises the point that government will increases revenue by add high rate of taxation on cigarettes. Besides, the government can use the revenue to benefit public welfare such as building stadiums or creating public parks. On the other hand, the professor says that if the government really depends on the cigarette taxes to build the public, it would open this public area for smoker allow to smoke. Because the government doesn't want to lose great income.
