Consider this statement. Government should implement a policy that sees the tax levied on smokeable forms of cannabis be priced higher/taxed heavier than edibles or other non-smokeable forms. Based on the background provided in the readings, is this a reasonable policy? Why or why not?
Homework Answers
The above claim seeks to prevent the use of marijuana as narcotics, i.e. smokeable types that cause harm not only to direct consumers (i.e. smokers) but also to those around them (i.e. indirect smokers). Even harmless non-smokers are therefore exposed to toxic surroundings. Through increasing taxes on smokeable types of marijuana, users would prefer non-smokeable or any other edible form of cannabis to be consumed. At the very least, the health of non-smokers will be covered. The government therefore aims at shielding non-smokers from hazardous conditions and ensuring their health.

Topic: Tobacco products The government's tax/subsidy policy in these areas and any objectives of the tax policy. In the United States, federal, state, and local governments tax tobacco. Tobacco products are taxed in two ways: the unit tax, which is based on a constant nominal rate per unit (that is, per pack of cigarettes), and the ad valorem tax, which is based on a constant fraction of either wholesale or retail price. Currently, federal taxes on cigarettes, small cigars, and...
