▶ Your Answer :
When
cigarette appeared at first, it used to treat patient who have indigestion and
constipation also for relaxation. Moreover cigarette was composed only tobacco
leaves. But nowadays, cigarette is made up of chemical substances such as
benzene and naphthalene, etc. including tobacco leaf. As the result of adding chemical
substances, cigarette can’t use for treatment. Now cigarette cause many
diseases likely cancer, heart attack and bursting of the blood vessel in brain.
Therefore, I strongly agree to increase the cost of tobacco for improving
health of nation. And this insistence has two reasons. One is increasing the
price of cigarette helps smoker to quit smoking because they can’t bear that
cost. The other is government can collect more taxes because the tobacco cost
was comprised of taxes almost 60% of selling price.
To
begin with, increasing the cost of cigarette influences to stop because smokers
can’t pay the price and high price of cigarette will regard smoking as lavish
behavior. In my experience, I can’t smoke when living in London. That reason is
English tobacco is very expensive to me. The cost of English tobacco is approximately
8 dollar each pack. In addition, I saw most English people don’t smoke. The
policy of rising the price of cigarette that descends smoking group and basically
prevents buying cigarette basically. For these reasons, raising the cigarette
cost is the best way to make smokers to quit smoking.
At
last, ascending the price of tobacco earns more money through the taxes of
tobacco because that cost consists of taxes. Accordingly, budget of government
will appreciate from collecting tax for tobacco. Consequentially, government
will invest many funds for advancing national development projects. For
instance, the budgets can be used to improve welfare benefits like running the
campaigns that support for stop smoking and extending medical benefit. Then,
these investments help people to healthy. To sum up, increasing the price of
cigarette makes healthier nation than before.
In one word, raising the cigarette cost
affects many positive results that descend smoking rates in the nation, prevent
addictions and diseases with cigarette. Also, it is improving welfare benefits
through collecting taxes from the price of cigarette. Thus, I assent to raise
the value of cigarette for advancing national health. |
