Cities with soda taxes saw sales of sugary drinks fall as prices rose, study finds (www.kpbs.org)

Sales of sugary drinks fell dramatically across five U.S. cities, after they implemented taxes targeting those drinks – and those changes were sustained over time. That’s according to a study published Friday in the journal JAMA Health Forum....

What about sales in cities near these? I doubt people will stop buying it just for the tax, I bet they are willing to go elsewhere to get it for cheap and just by in bulk.

Nice, then good to know!

What I was thinking is people need to be aware of the serous health issues from drinking a lot of soda to ease down on it but I guess any steps that help reduce its consumption are great.

Sadly there is also a lot of people who buy it regularly. Was just with some relatives over the holidays and they have full stack packs of coke for the day to day.

This segment is who I would think go out of their way to avoid the taxes.

You bring an excellent point and probably it is in that segment where the reduced consumption is when the taxes are higher.
