    In the UK sugar tax is a thing. People are going to consume stupid amounts of sugar so we may as well increase the taxes to hopefully fund the diabetes mellitus treatment in later life.

    In the same vain I support higher taxes on tobacco. Whether that sends people to the black market remains to be seen.

      Ok but this isn’t about a tax it’s an all out ban…so which is it you’re ok with the ban or not?

        I’m not the other person.

        I was merely pointing out there are other ways.

        For what it’s worth I am not for banning things. Drugs have been illegal my whole life and it hasn’t stopped me.
