Hi Tereza !
First of all, congratulations on your ambition and perseverance in your project!
In this publication, you touch on many aspects of typically well-being, happy existence and social cooperation. These are not areas in which I am an expert, so let me go a little further and ask you what tangible next steps you plan to take in the field of investment, not just research? Do you see promising prospects for such an investment? Which organizatsions could provide funding (or are already doing so?). Who do you need on the team to work on it? Of course, I ask for a reason :) As you know, I work in a similar industry to you (designing installations in buildings) and, like you, I am looking for a place to use my competences in the EA world. I am excited about your research and would like to consider joining forces on such a project. If you have time and space to expand this discussion, I’m waiting for it on priv :)
HI!
I have doubts about the following two points, I would love to hear your point of view.
1. Tobacco taxation leads to the diversion of significant sums of money to the State budget. We have no control over how these resources will be used, whether they will produce more good or evil.
2. For poorer households, tobacco taxes may not be significant enough to give up smoking, and the only thing they will lead to is a reduction in the budget for other more important areas (healthy eating, spots, drugs, etc.)
