To (over)extend the analogy: growing apples specifically increases people's chances of dying each year by X%. (Akin to dying from cancer caused from smoke from wildfires caused by global warming, or hurricanes, or droughts in the 3rd world, etc).
By raising the price of apples, some people might just choose to eat pears instead, and still collect their rebate from the apple tax.
(People can buy electric cars, hybrid cars, take public transit, ride their bike, etc)
