tpo 53 high taxes for unhealthy products
The material discusses the concept of imposing high taxes on cigarettes and other unhealthy behaviors. While the reading states many social benefits for this approach, the listening challenges all these benefits.
First, the author mentions that these taxes can discourage people from unhealthy behaviors. On the other hand, the professor opposes this and mentions that these taxes could lead people to but cheaper or low-quality cigarettes. The lecturer adds that these cheaper cigarettes have more harmful substances than quality cigarettes, so they may pose greater health risks. In addition to that, the speaker adds that people could continue to buy unhealthy food, even it has high taxes. The lecturer explains that if people spend more money on this unhealthy food, they may have less money left to buy healthy food.
Second, the author claims that implementing high taxes for unhealthy products is financially fair. On the contrary, the lecturer refutes this and mentions that governments should take incomes into consideration. The professor explains that low- income families could suffer, while high-income ones would be ok. The speaker posits that taxes could are a much greater burden of low-income families.
Third, the reading contends that these taxes would increase governments' revenue. Conversely, the professor contradicts this and claims that these revenues could have a downside. The lecturer explains that governments will depend on this money, so they do not pay attention to limit these unhealthy behaviors. Moreover, the speaker adds that governments will adapt to it and do not put banning rules to stop people from smoking in public areas. The professor states that because governments do not want to lose this income.
