I read news
about increasing the city cigarette tax by 75 cents in many times ago. I do not
know it become true or not now, but if this become true, Chicago will become
the nation’s highest total cigarette taxes. I think it will do more good for
our society in some ways.
Firstly, it will
decrease the number of cigarette sold with the cigarette tax increase. People
tend to buy less with the limit of budget. Cigarette smoking is harmful to
people’s health. It can protect their health with decrease using cigarette.
Secondly, the
cut in the sale of cigarettes will lower the profit of the cigarette companies.
This will help to protect the environment of our life. The environment pollution
is still the one of the most important issues of the world. That is a good way
to decrease the environment pollution.
The last but not
least, the tax income will be used to help the public welfare. It can also help
a lot of people to get a better life. I am a non-smoker, I agree with this
suggestion. I hope it will become the
true.
I think the United States is on a slow path towards eradicating cigarettes. The taxes on cigarettes are nearly more than the cost of the cigarettes these days. I only wish it were enough to make people take quitting seriously.
