Some people argue that sugary foods are causing
a public health crisis putting pressure on healthcare machinery similar to what
smoking does and they should be taxed in the same way as tobacco.
Do you
agree or disagree with this opinion?
Keeping a health hazard,
like tobacco, under heavy tax net is a common followed across the world. In
this respect, bringing sugar-intensive foods under such a tax regime is a good
idea toward keeping the healthcare system free from further stress.
To me, it is right to agree
with the given opinion. The thing is that sugar-rich products have been seen as
the prime force behind the alarming rise in the obesity cases across the world.
The matter with tobacco is that, by the time people start to use is, they, mostly
males, will be in their teens.
But the story is different
in the case of sugar which comes to the life of people right in their infancy
itself. During teenage, great many would have become a medical eventuality no
less severe than one of tobacco. Severe taxing on sugar would go a long way in
keeping sugar at bay thereby letting the healthcare systems.
What tobacco does to the
world, people and healthcare industry is that it kills people who are using it
and those who are passively experiencing its effects. Sugar, in the same way,
kills the users and the spoils and well-being of others dear to them. For
example, diabetics is almost a contagion across the world, and in India three
out of every ten above 40 years of age are suffering from some sugar-related
ailments. The medical bills they accrue are phenomenal for any family. Heavy
taxing on sugar is right.
My conclusion is, imposing
hefty tax on sugar-strong foods is not going to make the world free from
sugar-related hazards in a fine morning. How long has the world been fighting
against tobacco? It has been ages. However, taxing sugar heavily is right for
the world’s health.
