Reply to Massachusetts should have a Tax Sugary Drinks. This would discourage consumers from buying products that may lead to chronic illness, and high long term costs to the health system. by [deleted]
In theory yes. But in practice no. NY did this and human behavior was unexpected. Purchases of drinks subject to the tax did not change. The reasons are varied and probably there are some reasons that were not identified but the general consensus was people buy what they want and marginal small taxes aren’t enough to change that behavior. It ended up being a tax on the poor.
