This honestly sounds like it only disincentivizes poor people, and doesn't address the root cause. But if you can point me to a source where it was studied, I promise to read it with an open mind.

Yes, but as most people are poor people, this has the greatest impact. Something which is targeted to impact the rich logically doesn't change as many people's behaviour. Smokers for example, are predominantly poor.

I do notice that you haven't linked a source.

For which part? Isn't this stuff covered in your high school system?
