Yes, and two of those are referred to as sin taxes. Hint: it’s not gas.

Excise taxes are referred to as sin taxes by anti-tax advocates, and gasoline is subject to excise taxes

Sin taxes are called as such because they are designed to curtail the use of that which is being taxes. The gas tax isn’t to discourage the purchase of gas. It’s to pay for the roads that the gas is being used on.
