What exactly is a sin tax?

i think.. it's paying extra money for doing something that is bad for you. i.e., junk food. they would probably just charge you more for the junk we all love so much. am i right?

I agree that the government shud cut down on advertising but people shud take responsibility and cut down on junk food themselves. Wen i was younger i loved mcdonalds but the only reason i'd eat it now is if i'm in rush r have no money. I just don't like the taste nemore.If you think you are addicted you shud substitute other food that you do like for junk food. Gettin healthier as you go along and you'll actually feel better after a properly cooked meal instead of calorie laden rubber!

I think it should be up to people to change their eating habits. Why add tax that maybe (for various reasons) prevents perfectly healthy people from eating junk food?

Overweight people should take responsibility for their own intake of junk. Limiting junk food commercials that tempts the obese could help though.

to me. personally, i think that people have to want to change their eating habbits not be forced to because we well get it from somewhere else they cant force stores not to sell junk food to us. and therefore the schools are losing money. Money that helps us have better things. if junk fod is cut out of school then the schools will lose money and that will be an effect in the long run. so now they shouldnt get rid of junk food but bring in healthy food aswell more than they already have in schools. and at a cheaper price than junk food. I think if the option is there then it will slowly change to healthier eating.
