Raising taxes on unhealthy behaviors

The listening content totally refutes the reading passage in the fact that impose high taxes on cigarettes and unhealthy food can be benefit of society. First of all, the reading mentions that raising taxes on unhealthy behaviors discourage people from doing it. Take cigarettes for example, smoking declines since taxes on cigarettes have risen. Also, impose taxes on unhealthy food can help reduce obesity rate. The listening, however, argues that the policy of higher taxes do not lead to healthier behavior, for example, high cigarettes taxes lead people to buy cheaper and low quality cigarettes which contain more unhealthy substances. Similarly, even though impose high taxes on unhealthy food, some people might continue to spend more money on unhealthy food which they prefer, so it would not benefit their health.

Secondly, the reading suggests that people who do the unhealthy behaviors increase medical costs that are covered by everyone who pays taxes. Taxing people who do the unhealthy behaviors create extra income that can use to cover the medical costs, so people, such as nonsmokers, can pursue a financially fair. Yet, the speaker from the listening passage points out the fact that taxes on unhealthy products are unfair because they do not take into account t people’s income. Suppose high-earning person and lower- earning person consume the same amount of cigarettes a day. Paying a high taxes will create a great burden for the lower earner than higher earner.

Lastly, the author says that impose high taxes on tobacco increases revenue for the government. The government can use the money to benefit public welfare. In contrast, the listening asserts that the government uses the revenue that has a downside. The government does not want to lose the million dollars, so it might not force to pursuing policies or law to eliminate unhealthy behaviors. For instance, it will allow people to smoke in public areas, such as park, since it does not want to lose the income.
