Summarise the reading and listening
Both lecturer and the passage discuss paying taxes by the cigarette smokers, and similar taxes can be considered for unhealthy foods, too. In this regard, while the lecture states that this policy would be beneficial, the professor casts doubt on it and challenged this point of view. In the following, the contract will be presented.
First of all, the reading mentions that the taxes, required for smokers, would dissuade them to be engaged in unhealthy behaviors, and, consequently, make them refuse it. Furthermore, the people who use unhealthy food would reduce their eating of junk food. On the other hand, the lecturer refutes it and point out that these people would keep on doing their work. For example, smokers will but cheaper and low-quality cigarette instead of using the better one, more harmful, if the taxes rise. Moreover, the people who are attendant to buy junk food, they will have less money to buy a healthy one because of the high price of unhealthy food. As a matter of fact, they would prefer to buy unhealthy food anyway.
Secondly, the lecture says that it is unfair for all people to contribute equal money the same as the people who are sick because of smoking and having an unhealthy style of living. On the contrary, the professor refuses this idea and states that the definition of fairness is different for many people. It would be unfair for smokers who have low income to pay the taxes the same as the smokers with high revenue. In this line of thinking, there is more burden on a person whose revenue is low and wants to eat unhealthy food in order to pay taxes. It is crystal clear that the rich person can pay the taxes as easily as possible comparing to poor ones.
Finally, the passage express that the income of the governments would be elevated in the case of receiving the taxes, and, as a result, they can improve the quality of the public parks and education system. In contrast, in the listening, the lecturer does not think so and asserts that this revenue may have downsides for them. Because the governments would depend on this income and set many laws in order to continue having these taxes. For example, they ban people from smoking in the public and even private situations. In fact, they do not want to lose the revenue and pursue to achieve it from people altogether.
