If There is a Higher Tax on Drugs, People will use Them Less.
Hi Hivelearners friends.
I hope you all are well, I am also well, so today's topic is interesting and if this happens and the governments of countries all over the world start doing this, especially in Asian countries, if this happens, we will see that the number of people addicted to drugs will decrease. Here, I also want to say this to my government that all the drugs, cigarettes, alcohol and all the other things like that,
Should be taxed more because most of the people here in Asian countries are poor, so they cannot pay such high taxes. Therefore, it is better that if this is done, these people will reduce their drug use and some of them will stop using drugs. Here, they should reduce the taxes on food and drink so that the very poor people here cannot buy these things because of inflation and high taxes, so it is easy for them to buy these things.
We all can only advise the governments, it is their responsibility to decide, but if it is done in this way, we will see that people do not buy expensive things, shopkeepers will also reduce the stock of such addictive things, then this will be the beginning of good things, and in the coming time, we will see that the number of addicts in our country will be reduced and how many people leave this world every year due to the habit of addiction,
And here this is the only way to reduce addiction, because here we see that someone who once gets into the habit of smoking says that this habit can never end, but the income of all these people, all of us, is low. We all know that if we have to earn 1500 rupees per day and a pack of cigarettes costs 500 or even 1000, we will not be able to buy it, so we will have to quit smoking. People who become addicted to drugs then start harming our country.
Now the way we see drug addicts sitting on the streets and no one says anything to them, so when they earn money, if not, then where will they get drugs? This is the biggest question. Here, during the day, people don't say anything to them. They say that they are drug addicts. But at night, these people go to people's houses and steal, they steal on the streets. And that's why we see that people are worried. So here, especially in our country, in our city,
There should be an operation where the police take all these drug addicts and try to set them up. We have seen that there were many people who were using drugs for a long time, but then they got set up. So the government will also have to do this so that the people who earn money here, work 12 hours a day and only earn 100-120 dollars a month. If they earn dollars, these people also steal from their homes, take someone's motorcycle,
And take special things from someone's house, so their treatment is necessary. We read about other countries, like Saudi Arabia, which has not increased the price of bread for the last 12 years because it shows that people who are rich eat less bread because they have more money. And nowadays, inflation is in every country, so this is a good move by them that the people there do not have much trouble eating bread because if there is cheap bread, everyone will be able to eat it.
So here I am saying that there should be some things that should not be taxed at all so that the poor can eat bread for two times a day. Especially the things that are used to make tea should not be taxed. And the way it is, bread and food and drink items, the way all grocery items are, the tax should be reduced and applied to drugs. Here we see that here, the medical staff of our country also do wrong,
They give them drugs for free, and these people are doing it at night, so action should be taken against them too. When asked, they say: It is said here that when those people come to get drug injections, if we don't give them, they stand in front of our shop and when they don't go back, we have seen this happen ourselves, but the solution is not to give them drugs.
Governments have to think about this. If they do this, a lot more people will be happy, especially the two or three things I have shared with all of you. If the government takes these drug addicts and gets them treated, the number of thefts in our city and our country will also decrease. Today, as we see, due to inflation in our city and all these drug addicts, they are committing a lot of thefts. Some time ago, the same thing happened to me. My mobile phone, Violet, and everything were taken at gunpoint.
Now, we see and hear such incidents every day here. It is the responsibility of the government to control them by forming a separate police force that will patrol the streets of the colonies. These incidents are happening more in colonies because there is not much rush there and they get a chance to do so peacefully. If we look at this, most boys are starting to get the habit of smoking from university and college because it has now become a trend.
When one boy is smoking, he tells the other to start smoking too. At night, when all the friends get together at some hotel, all the friends sit there and smoke cigarettes, saying that they are drinking because of the tensions of life. But that doesn't happen. Now it has become a trend and every boy is starting to do this after seeing other boys.
This is very wrong. In the future, we will see a lot of damage from it because once the habit is formed, it is not impossible to quit it, in my opinion, but it is definitely difficult. Therefore, it is better not to have a habit of doing such things.

Actually there is a lot of data and experience suggesting that the opposite is the case, any kind of addiction tends to ruin those who can't control it, especially if its expensive..
What are the roots, the reasons why people resort to drugs? That is very complex and hard to change, so most skip even thinking about that.
There might be an argument to be made about "splitting off" the more dangerous drugs this way, while letting those that are more harmless be very accessible...
Either way its NOT an easy problem to deal with!
Yeah you are right.
