Smokers should pay high taxes for cigarettes.

[JLuuudy]

Hi, everyone.
I absolutely agree with the conception of high taxes for smokers.
The point is that there is not only threat for themselves, but also for people who are near them, espessially for pregnant women and teenagers. Youngsters usually don't aware danger from smoking completely. I think they only want to copiright behaviour their frends and want to show their ability to be resemble to older people.
I suppose that supplimentary taxes could be used for agitation and explanation the smoking hurm.

I agree what you said. I think let smokers pay high taxes for cigarettes is good for the smokers themselves,too. Some smokers may realised that smocking is bad for their health, but they still can't stop doing so. So, I think let smokers pay high taxes is a good action for both smokers themselves and the people around them.

I agree with the proposal of smokers should pay more taxes. Because smoking is harmful to everyone, not just the smoker. When people breathe in the smoke, they will be unhealthier. So smokers should pay more taxes on cigarettes.

I believe that smokers should pay high taxes for cigarettes. Because there are many smoker in China. For me, my aunt always smoke in the house, so make me always can smell of cigarettes in the room. Smoke is bad for people, smell much can make people died. So, I believe that smokers should pay high taxes for cigarettes.

By increase the tax on cigarette, I think that is a good way to limit people smoke.
Everyone knows smoke is bad for health, but most of them cannot control themselves, so they also bad for the people who stand around him. So increase the tax this a good approach to solute this problem, and decrease the number of smokers.

I think this is a good idea , because smoking is bad to our health , if government do it , i think many people will give up cigarettes, it can help people to control themself

In my opinion, raise the text is a good way to reduce the number of people to buy cigarette. The cigarette not only bad for health, it also influences the air quality. Cigarette is one of the reason that cause the air pollution.(people smokes) If government do that, not only can reduce the people get disease on cigarette, it also reduces the air pollution.

hell yah!!! the smokers always smoke in streets, making it so disgustingly smelly. the biggest problem is the smokers don't care if their smoke is having bad effect on the people nearby. addition to paying high taxes for cigarettes, the government should set up laws against buying cigarettes (lol, is this too aggressive to the smokers?) i'm absolutely aggree to smokers pay high taxes for cigarettes. then they will get broke and never ever buy cigarettes again (muahaha, I am a devil XD)

I totally agree! Smoke cigarettes are the principal cause of lung cancer and other respiratory diseases. Paying high taxes for cigarettes could be one way to prevent those disseases.

I do not have a strong opinion to support or contradict this proposal. Smokers are legally free to smoke or quit smoking. Admittedly, if you smoke around susceptible persons like pregnant females or people with lung problems. the tobacco will do a harm to their health, however, it is practically infeasible to trace if you smoke in an open environment with no one around you or you smoke in a crowd. So the proponents of this tax should really think hard on how to implement the tax policy.

Smoking is harmful to the society and it is bad for people’s health. I think it is reasonable to pay high taxes for cigarettes. Therefore, some people will not smoke because of the high price. To be honest, I don’t smoke but I know the country earns countless money from these taxes. High taxes are also good for the country’s development.

I could understand the smokers are definitely against this because the tobacco industry is just profiteering.

Yes, I agree that smokers should pay high taxes for cigarettes. However, the current tax is higher than that of a fairly estimated cost. The health insurance fee of smokers should be higher than non-smokers, however, it also should be decreased because the estimated-increased health insurance fee for smokers is higher than the effect of smoking on smokers' health. In addition, smoking can affect other non-smokers, however, it just happens by the person who is rude. It should not affect all smokers. Smoking is a personal preference as drinking, eating fast foods.
