Honestly I have no strong opinion on vice taxes, you’re absolutely right that they’re regressive taxes but also from what I understand they do work? And ultimately I do agree with the goal of having people drink and smoke less.

With the sugar sodas one though, there is a very easy alternative, since sodas with artificial sweeteners don’t have the tax.
