Why is the tobacco tax so high?

Tobacco tax accounts for about half of the price. The main reason why taxes are so high is that smoking is harmful to health. Raising taxes by the state will inevitably lead to an increase in tobacco prices, thus achieving the effect of tobacco control.

Cigarettes are a very special thing. Some people love it, others hate it. But as we all know, smoking is harmful to health. Then why are there so many smokers in China? Nicotine in cigarettes is addictive, and it is difficult for addicted smokers to quit smoking. In addition, many people who are not very addicted to cigarettes or have low incomes have to consider whether to spend money on cigarettes, so that some students can avoid smoking.

In fact, the tobacco tax in China seems to be very high. In fact, worldwide, China's tax rate on tobacco is not very high. The WTO has repeatedly asked China to continue to raise the tobacco tax rate. Of course, no matter how high the tax rate of tobacco is, it is also harmful to the human body, so it is best not to smoke and give up smoking as soon as possible.
