Smokers should pay a Health tax
why smokers should pay a higher health tax, smoking is bad for you and can cause lung cancer however isn't fast food bad for us yet they don't get taxed,Thus a little more $ goes out to the economy to provide for the lives that have been negatively effected because of this toxic drug.As we moved in to the essay you will learn more about smokers and why the government should put higher health tax on smoking.
Cigarette smoking is unhealthy for people and is the number one cause of preventable
disease and death worldwide.Smokers should pay health tax because the number of cancers patients would most likely decrease, smokers would be less likely to smoke due to additional taxes and
would improve the overall health, and the government would have a lower expenditure rates
the health treatment for smokers. An examination for more than 100 international studies articulates the empirical consensus. Significant increases in tobacco taxes are a highly effective tobacco control strategy and lead significant improvements in public health.
"Where tax money goes" Expanding early childhood education in particular for low and moderate income children as the president has proposed is a very progressive use of the
tobacco tax the combined policy is designed to benefit people both at the "front end," by expanding opportunity and at the "back end," by improving health and extending lives.
"Why we have to pay more for their health care.Yes i know that smoking is usually done by a persons free will, BUT it is also causing the death of innocent people because of second hand smoke. Around 1000 non smokers die from second hand smoke, pets are at risk and especially children who breathe slower, still growing so their immune system cant help them out as much. This is killing the society.
Smoking causes one in five deaths in the united states,Smokers are two to four times more likely than nonsmokers to develop coronary heart disease. Even low levels of tobacco exposure, including occasional smoking or secondhand smoke, increase the risk of poor cardiac health.
