I agree with your premise, in a way, because the same sort of scheme was used to discourage smoking. However, the rise in cigarette prices was coupled with an intensive public education campaign about the health hazards of tobacco. Additionally, a large percentage of tobacco use (before vaping) was conveyed via cigarettes which enabled a sharply focused campaign. Sugar, on the other hand, is conveyed in hundreds of different ways. If the government is in the business of regulating sugar intake, then everything from M&Ms to ice cream to Oreo cookies should be taxed heavily as well. If not, it is a punitive measure unfairly aimed at beverage producers and not the myriad other purveyors of sugar. |
