Products such as Nicotine are a good example. Because there are chewing gum products that can lower the amount of nicotine a person craves in a certain amount of time, quitting smoking becomes a lot easier, this then means that issues like Lung Cancer are less prominent, saving the NHS and therefore the government money which could otherwise be spent on opportunity costs such as education and the armed forces. Also known as Merit/Public goods. (Although in some cases education can come under the Quasi public good bracket). The supply curve of therapeutic gum could also be seen as too far left due to the suppliers themselves not actually benefiting from the externalities of their product, mainly because the externalities affect what the government would have to pay for if their product was not…

They also displayed domineering characteristics. The fact that this was an afternoon session was not helping either.

As Australian society and the community develop throughout the years, many people are opting for healthier food choices, healthier lifestyles, and overall, are just more health conscious. Thus, the issue of smoking cigarettes and the health hazards it engenders has become a popular topic among the public. Recently, in Australia, legislation was passed that requires all cigarettes to be sold in plain green packaging, with no branding. The introduction of this legislation has stirred up much commotion, causing people to voice their opinion through the media. In the opinion article:’ Plain cigarette packaging will change smoking… slowly’, (No Date, The Conversation), Paul Harrison conveys his support for the new legislation, as he believes, from his extended research, that it can help to discourage smoking.

One reason why gum should be allowed to be chewed at students’ disposal, is because of it’s ability to help kids focus. Many students become very bored as class goes on, especially during independent work. Popping in a piece of gum will put a nice refreshing flavor in their mouth, and the chewing of the gum will most likely not make them tired, slouchy, or bored. According to Andrew Scholey from the University of Swinburne, gum chewing can help you focus because of the fact that gum flows insulin inside your brain which then enhances learning and memory capabilities. Because of chewing gums ability to help you focus it can make it much easier to be a more…

We see the advocacy videos and commercials warning the dangerous possibilities tobacco products can cause almost on a daily basis from some popular source of media. From the information these corporations provide we confer tobacco has a long list of health issues it can cause, it’s highly addictive, and is quite expensive over time. The federal government is who funds these organizations which aim to try and get people to stop using tobacco. The problem is, even with the massive amount of propaganda against tobacco use there is still more people that try the drug every year and more people die from it every year. Instead of wasting tax dollars funding research and advocacy organizations that obviously don’t help the problem, eliminate it at its source and make tobacco illegal. This would also allow the money used every year to fund tobacco related things to be used for more productive and useful things.…
