Abstract
Beverage taxes are a promising policy to reduce sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption. SSBs are more commonly consumed by communities of color and low-income populations,1-3 and excess consumption is associated with poor health outcomes.4-7 As of 2020, beverage taxes—ranging from 1 to 2 cents per fluid ounce—were implemented in 7 US localities. A tax in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, enacted January 1, 2017, was for 1.5 cents per fluid ounce.Keywords
