Chapter 76: The Theory of Tobacco
"Long-term smoking can easily lead to various diseases such as cancer, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, heart disease, peptic ulcer, etc., and it is also not good for the health of others.
According to the World Health Organization, about 3 million people die from smoking every year worldwide, and one person dies every 10 seconds...... Tobacco harm is one of the most serious public health problems in the world, and smoking and second-hand smoke are serious dangers to human health! Quitting smoking and controlling tobacco has become a top priority for health and safety in every country! ”
Lu Weiwei did a lot of homework and checked almost all the harms that smoking can cause.
"Smoking is bad for your health." Lin Chen nodded, "This is Edison's famous saying, the latter sentence is, but it is beneficial to the country." ”
Lu replied with a slight smile: "I know that the tobacco industry has brought huge taxes to the country, but tobacco is indeed a serious harm to people's health, and fiscal revenue should not be obtained at the expense of national health!" ”
Lin Chen thought for a while and asked her, "Do you know how much the huge tax is?" ”
The deer was slightly stunned.
"You cited a lot of data, for example, 3 million people died from smoking...... For example, one person dies every 10 seconds from smoking. Column data is a good way to make people memorable, but you should also know about your opponent's data. ”
Lu frowned slightly: "But...... What if you know the exact amount? Could it be that the amount of money is huge, and it can ignore the lives and health of the people? ”
"Last year, the tobacco industry paid a trillion in taxes." Lin Chen was unhurried, "Just talking about one trillion may not have any concept, let's put it this way, tobacco taxes are more than electricity, automobiles, mining and other industries combined."
The well-known three major chaebols of Huaya are not worth mentioning in the face of the tobacco industry's ability to generate income. These taxes, which are used for national military defense, public construction, social security and medical care, can be said to have made a huge contribution. ”
"It generates revenue for the country, but it harms people's lives and health!" Lu Weiwei said unwillingly, "There are 300 million smokers in China, 740 million people suffer from second-hand smoke, and the number of deaths caused by smoking-related diseases exceeds 1 million every year!" That's more than 2,740 people dying from smoking every day! And this number is increasing year by year!
If a killer kills 1 million people a year, shouldn't we stop it? Shouldn't something be done?! ”
"Good, 1 million." Lin Chen bowed slightly, his expression calm, "If these 1 million people survive, the pensions and social security funds they need will be astronomical, and the pressure on the country's financial expenditure can be imagined." ”
The deer was slightly dumbfounded: "Isn't human life as important as money?" ”
"Of course, human life matters. But you have to know that smoke is such a thing, when it really hurts people, it is already a person's twilight years.
At this time, people have retired and no longer generate value for the country, but are absorbing the benefits of the state, and for the state, these people are a burden. ”
Lin Chen looked into the distance and said in a light tone, "So, the smoker is great." When you are young, you work and pay taxes, and when you are old, you die early, leaving your pension to others, and these resources are used by the state for social security and medical care, saving more lives. ”
The deer opened his mouth slightly, and suddenly ran out of words......
She was originally very well prepared, with a large number of examples and a lot of data, but now, her preparations seemed to have suddenly turned into a drizzle, and there was no strength.
The debate questions are all open-ended, she should not be blocked into a dead end, there must be a direction to exit, and there must be a way to turn the tables.
But where?
Where's the direction? Where is the way out?
The deer bit his lip slightly silently, feeling aggrieved.
"What's that look like?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.
"Nothing." Lu said slightly sullenly, "I just feel that I am still too tender." ”
Lin Chen lifted her chin, stroked her bitten lip with her fingertips, and said with a smile: "It's quite tender and soft." ”
"......" The deer glared at him slightly!
Teasing me again!
