▶ Your Answer :
The reading and the lecturer both talk about high taxes on cigarettes and other unhealthy products. The reading states that there are three reasons why taxes on cigarettes and other unhealthy products are beneficial. However ,the lecturer argues that the reasons given in the reading are not convincing.
One of the reasons that the reading states is that raising taxes on cigarettes make people buy less cigarettes and unhealthy food. So, society can be more healthier and citizens can reduce their weight. On the contrary, the lecturer argues that this statement is false. This is because raising taxes on unhealthy products does not lead people to buy less cigarettes and unhealthy products. They are willing to buy expensive cigarettes and unhealthy things, and buy cheap cigarettes and unhealthy products that is more harmful than expensive cigarettes and unhealthy products.
Another reasons that the author in the reading argues is that it is fair for many people who are nonsmokers and follow a healthy diet, because raising taxes on cigarettes can be used for medical costs caused by smokers. But the lecturer claims that this argument is also erroneous. This is because raising taxes on unhealthy products can be more harder for people whose income is low than people whose income is high. In that regard, it can be unfair for many people who are poor.
The final reason that the reading goes on to explain is that this suggestion make the government obtain a lot of money for benefit public welfare such as creating building and parks. On the other hand, the lecturer asserts that this explanation does not make sense. This is because this law lead the government to depend on this type of income too much. So, the government will not try to regulate public smoke or make laws related to public benefit, trying not to lose this income.
