TPO 53
Both the reading and lecture discuss taxes on cigarette and unhealthy food. The author states that in many countries smokers have to pay high taxes on cigarettes and similar taxes are being considered for unhealthy food and presents three benefits of the high taxes on these items. However, the lecturer finds the author's ideas flawed and provides some argument to the contrary.
To begin with, it is the author's assumption that high taxes on cigarettes discourage people from buying them and it can lead to a healthier society and same taxes on unhealthy foods and beverage can decrease obesity rate. On the contrary, the lecturer asserts that if taxes increase, people will buy less expensive cigarettes which contain the more harmful substance that is more harmful to them. She says that this issue is similar for unhealthy foods and people have to spend more money on them and less on healthy foods.
Second, the author states that these taxes are fair because people who use cigarettes and unhealthy foods they get sick and impose medical costs to the society and it is unfair to nonsmokers and the ones who consume healthy foods. Therefore, taxes can cover these costs and people with unhealthy behavior have to burden these costs. Yet again, the lecturer casts doubt on this point and explains that high taxes is not fair because people with high and low income have to pay the same taxes which is a great expense for people with low income. Besides, this issue is the same for unhealthy foods and people who make less money have to pay a lot of money that can put them under pressure.
The final point of contention is that high taxes are revenue for governments. The author claims that governments can use the revenue for useful projects like making public parks and stadiums so these taxes benefit everyone. On the other hand, the lecturer states that the revenue is a huge amount of money and governments consider it as a source of income. As a result, they refuse to put signs for smoking in open areas and outdoor because they do not want to lose their source of income.
