TPO 53

The reading and the lecturer are both about the social benefits to impose high taxes on cigarettes and other unhealthy food products. The Author of the reading feels that these taxes can help people to be healthier in the future. The lecturer challenges the claim made by the author. He is of the opinion that these benefits can be challenged in different ways.

To begin with, the author argues that taxes discourage individuals from indulging in unhealthy behaviors. The article mentions that increasing taxes on cigarettes and unhealthy food leads people to buy fewer of them. Also, it can affect on beverages, which help reduce obesity rates. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. She claims that high taxes induce smokers to buy cheaper and low-quality cigarettes, which can influence their health. Additionally, she says their costs for remedy will increase, and this event can happen about the unhealthy food, too.

Secondly, the writer suggests that taxes of this sort are financially fair. In the article, it is stated that when people get sick by smoking or eating unhealthy food, they make specific and enormous medical costs. Taxing people who engage in unhealthy behaviors can use for low-income people. The lecturer, however, rebuts on this by mentioning that it is unfair because it accounts for lower-income people who use unhealthy behaviors. The lecturer elaborates on this by bringing up the point that smaller income people cannot pay the taxes, consequently, it is unfair.

Finally, the reading posits that taxation on cigarettes can enhance revenue for the government. In the article, it is stated that the government can spend a lot of money on public warfare, such as building stadiums or creating public parks. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that it depends on the revenue that the government obtains. Moreover, she says, for example, the government permits smokers to use cigarettes in every single situation, and it just thinks about its incomes from this especial way.
