N2 - Excise taxes on sugary beverages have been proposed as a method to replicate the public health success of tobacco control and to generate revenue.

Policymakers should therefore consider 2 complementary laws-minimum price laws and prohibitions on coupons and discounting-to accomplish the intended price increase.
