✅Fiscal policies work!
Taxes on unhealthy products help prevent NCDs, save lives, promote equity, cut healthcare costs, and raise public revenue.
📢We call on governement to implement taxes on unhealthy products, including tobacco, alcohol, sugar-sweetened beverages, and other foods high in sugar, salt and fat, to significantly decrease the affordability of these products.
