I will delve into some of the reasons, that why

such

changes should not be made.

Firstly

,

People

will continue buying them irrespective of their high cost. Since childhood, we were taught about the harmful effects of consuming more sugar. We know, it's bad for our teeth as it can cause cavities, responsible for increasing weight and at higher consumption of sweets we are at risk of diabetes, but ,

we continue to eat.

This

is as same as smoking.

For example

, cigarette packets come with a warning that, it's dangerous for our health and, can even cause cancer ,

however

,

people

choose to ignore it and continue to smoke.

Furthermore

, we all know that drinking too much is not good for us, it has repercussions on the liver, yet again we continue to drink alcohol.

Thus

, no matter what will be the price of goods,

people

will buy them.

Secondly

, increasing the price of

such

commodities will have a direct impact on the economy. No matter how much unhealthy these products are, eliminating their usage completely, is not possible.

For instance

, the middle class will manage to buy it somehow, but it will become difficult for the lower-income group to

afford

Although

, with an increase in the price, there is a possibility that

people

might not buy these goods as often as they used to, resulting in manufacture's loss and, in ,turn resulting in farmer's loss too, as now these producers will not buy sugar in greater quantities as before. And as

farming is the backbone of the major economies of the world, it will directly impact a country's growth.

Hence

it's not a viable solution to raise the cost. To sum up,

instead

of lifting up the rate, the government should implement schemes to motivate

people

to exercise and eat healthily.

Hence

, I do not agree that the prices of sugary products should be made more expensive.
