▶ Your Answer :
In the reading
passage, there is ample support for the author’s claim that increasing tax
brings about some advantages. However, the professor in the lecture
gives several reasons as a rebuttal to the author’s point.
First of all,
the lecturer points out that the writer does not take into account another
possibility. According to a study, young people bought cigarettes from black
market. This is much easier way for young people to buy them because the black
marketers do not check their ID also it is much cheaper. This contrast with the
idea presented in the reading passage that the increase in tax could trigger
for young people to start smoking because of high cost of cigarettes.
In addition,
according to the lecture, the fact that increasing the tax will help the
damaged environment is dubious. This is primarily due to the fact that there is
no benefit from cultivation on tabacco. What this means is that fewer people
buy the cigarettes that causes the government would get less tax. This casts
doubt on the claim from the reading passage that rising tax could be beneficial
to government to fix the environmental problems by cultivating tabacco.
The final point
made by the lecture is that the revenue from a higher tax could not reduce
poverty. The speaker contends that if the tax of cigarettes goes up, it makes
people lose their jobs related to cigarettes. This counters the reading passage’s
assertion that higher revenue for the government is advantageous to poor people
by offering employment.
