The reading passage and the lecture have conflicting opinions about whether or not implementing high taxes on cigarettes, would have a social advantage. The article strongly postulates that raising the taxes on cigarettes would have more than one benefit for smokers. On the other hand, the listening adamantly opposed that forcing high taxes on cigarettes would benefit smokers, and she believes it has more drawbacks. Its fine hope it is helpful and plz mark brainliest.
