Based on given materials, the article as well as the lecture discusses social benefits of high taxes on cigarette smokers purchases of cigarettes. The author states three benefits of this action. That being said, the lecturer provides several ideas to repudiate this claim.
Initially, the author says that it would be discourage people from indulging in unhealthy behaviors and leads them to buy fewer of them. However, the lecturer explains that by raising taxes on cigarettes, people are going to buy low quality and cheaper cigarettes which harm even worse than prior. Not only this reason makes the society healthier, but also leads society into crisis. Thus, it could not be logical way.
Second, the writer proclaims that the high taxes are financially fair because smokers create medical costs which is unfair that everyone in the society should equally cover these costs. Yet again, the speaker underscores that by an explanation. She assumes two smokers who have high earning and low. Increasing the taxes directly affects on low earning person which causes great expenses. Consequently, it creates much greater burden instead of what the writer have said.
The final point of contention between reading and listening passages is increasing revenue for the government. The author thinks it would be great situation for government. On the other hand, the speaker explains that the government depends on this budget. Consequently, the government avoid to forcing people by adopting new policies such some limitation for smoking in the public areas like parks. Based on this, it cannot be plausible reason.
