▶ Your Answer :
In the reading passage, there is ample support for the author’s claim that there are some advantages to increase the tax on tobacco. However, the professor in the lecture gives several reasons as a rebuttal to the author’s point.
First, the professor contends that raising tax on the cigarettes will not inhibit young people to buy. According to the study, teenager buy tobacco product in the black market. Thus, if cigarettes price goes up, they are more likely to buy In at more cheaper price from smugglers easily. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s claim that raising tax will prohibit youth to buy cigarettes since they are unable to afford the higher price. Next, the professor insists insist that it will not gives advantages to the environment. Even if tax raises, the government will not use revenue at planting trees. This is because, if tobacco cost more expensive than before, fewer people would buy so eventually, the government will have lower revenue from tobacco products. This refutes the reading passage’s assertion that increasing the The tax will make it feasible to repair destruction on the environment by the cultivation of tobacco.
Finally, the professor argues that raising the tax will not alleviate the poverty. This is because the tobacco industry provides a lot of jobs such as agriculture, manufacturing, and retail. In this regard, if the tax goes up, more workplace will decrease. As a result, the poverty will be worse worsen than the past. This counters the reading passages suggestion that if the revenue increased by higher taxes, the government will support social welfare to help poor people.
