I'm talking about the hate tax. It's not nationwide yet, but you see more and more people pushing for one every year.

A tax is hardly comparable to heavily restricting sales and making it completely illegal to buy or consume for under-18s.

("Sin tax" is the popular dysphemism, BTW.)

In my post I agreed with basic regulation, but against hate taxes.

>But I do not think the government should be passing hate taxes on things they don't want you to do. People mostly agreed when it came to cigarettes, now they're coming for sugar, and they're very likely to be going for animal based products at some point.

I'm just confused what you're arguing (and why it led to this post being downvoted). I didn't compare tax to consumption under 18.
