Imposing a heavy tax on e-cigarettes is not a good idea. This is due to the fact that it leads to tax inefficiency. Taxing the e-cigarettes at a higher rate than the other alternative small businesses in the same field will lead to loss of equity in the tax system, hence the tax inefficiency. This taxation will result to a deadweight loss that will cause the demand of cigarettes to lower and also raise the price. Similarly, the consumers and the producer's surplus will be reduced. The consumers will shift to other alternative products hence reduce the demand of the cigarettes. This is ...

Now the advertisements show up in our mailboxes, on our doorsteps, in our television screens, and in our inboxes. There is no escaping advertising. The primary basis of advertising is the use of words, and how they affect us on a fundamentally psychological level. Words and phrases, sometimes simple and sometimes complex, have the power to change how we view a product. At times, it makes us want a ...

Cigarettes are one of the addictive drugs that have dangerous effects to the smokers and society in general. Many people argue that the government should intervene to control the use of tobacco.

According to Mackenzie e al (1994), tobacco smoking has been increasing and falling in relation to some major happenings. It has been reported that deaths resulting from smoking- related infections have been rising, putting a larger medical burden on the country.

With such disadvantages, it is quite unclear why people still continue smoking, even after electronic advertising of smoking was banned (Mackenzie et al, 1994). It is notable that there is also another side of the tobacco story. The government and the manufacturing companies do reap great benefits from advertising. For instance, in 1992, Philip and Morris made sales worth ...
