Hi great people,
I'm excited to bring forth my entry for this last edition this moment. The topic for this discussion is somehow difficult for me to approach however I had to think deeply before writing something like this.
I'm not a business studies personality however I had to just try my best and digest it the way I want.

There are different ways to take care of peoples health and and government policies is good however it is good to strike a balance between the goods that is healthy for people and those one that aren't.
Putting taxes on consumables like alcohol, sugar cigarettes etc even though they might have an unhealthy impact in the lives of the people is not a good thing. Doing this by the government would have both positive and negative effects in the life of the citizens. There are varied reasons why people do certain things and everyone's opinion should honoured with high esteem.
The big question is if government put hefty tax on alcohol, cigarettes etc would it actually reduce the rate of consumption or usage but the people? Tax is not a major way to combat or reduce the rate of intake or consumption of such thing. These things In question have their significant effects. In fact, everything in life is good and bad depending on how you see it or consider it. When you don't know the importance of something, abuse is inevitable.
For instance I like taking sugar and this substance has lots positive impacts it does to human beings and most organization uses it for production. Increasing tax wouldn't make me to desists from because it's part of me increasing the price won't make me stop taking. This is also synonymous to other things people consume. If sugar is not good and harmful to humanity why would they be producing by the way? If you want to stop the usage of something is not hinged on placing tax on it but by other measure.
For other items like drugs etc are being abused today when people take such things without the consent of a medical practitioner. Normally the drug like totulin is meant to cure cough and cater but most young people would like to take it to induce their urge for something evil. No matter how much amount is placed on it won't change anything. When an individual is addicted to a thing, an alternative control measure can be created to treat this instead of inflicting unnecessary price on it.
I noticed that transformation of an individual is a deliberate attempt inflicting the price won't make one leave it. People that are addicted to cigarettes smoking no matter what you would do they won't leave except a strong decision is made. Its written on the pack that smokers are liable to die young. Many people still buy it despite the price. The government should realize that change starts from the mind and is a personal decision. Everyone has the right to choice in life either to be healthy or not.
Thanks for reading through my entry for this edition.
