The article and the lecture both discuss the benefit of taxes to prevent the bad smoking habit. The reading claims that adding taxes will reduce this bad habit and provide three reasons why it is beneficial. On the other hand, the lecturer refutes the author's assessment. He demonstrates three reasons to cast doubt on the claims made in the reading.
The first allegation of the script against which the author argues is refraining smokers from smoking by adding taxes on cigarettes.The lecturer refutes this claim by stating that the increase in price will not refrain smokers from smoking because as the price increases, smokers will start smoking a cheap low quality product which carries several health risks on smokers. Thus, worsen the already existing bad smoking effect.
Secondly, According to the text adding additional taxes may cover the expenses related to treat smokers. The speaker find the idea debatable. He bolster his opinion by stating that it is not fair for non smokers to cover the cost of smoker's treatment. Moreover, it not fair for rich and poor people to pay the same price for a pack of cigarettes, in other words this not fair for the poor.
Finally, the lecturer contradicts the fallacy of the passage that collecting taxes helps to improve the welfare services to people. The professor again disagree with the author's opinion. He contends that it is better to prevent smokers from smoking rather than collecting money. He states that governments might overlook bad people habits like smoking inorder to make more money which is not good neither for people nor for the government,
