Response in English: The government should raise taxes on cigarettes for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, research has consistently shown that increasing the price of cigarettes reduces consumption, particularly among young people. This leads to significant improvements in public health, as smoking is a leading cause of heart disease, lung cancer, and a myriad of other illnesses.Second, raising taxes on cigarettes will generate additional revenue for the government, which can be used to fund critical programs and services. This is particularly important in the context of the current economic climate, as governments around the world are struggling to find the resources necessary to address pressing social challenges.Finally, it is important to consider the broader societal impact of smoking. The negative externalities associated with smoking, such as the health care costs incurred by non-smokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke, are significant. By increasing taxes on cigarettes, the government can help to mitigate these costs, saving taxpayers money in the long run.In short, there are compelling reasons for the government to raise taxes on cigarettes. Considering the benefits to public health, the potential for increased revenue, and the societal costs associated with smoking, it is clear that this is a policy that is both necessary and justified. .
