According to a study conducted by the World Health Organization, noncommunicable diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, chronic lung disease, and stroke, are the main leading causes of deaths—almost 90% worldwide. These diseases also have social and economic costs. Cardiovascular diseases, for example, cost the economy of the European Union about 210 billion Euro in 2015. One method some European countries adopted to try to reduce the death rate from those leading causes was to impose high taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages. Assume that your next president loves the idea of sugar taxes and proposes a 30% tax on all sugary beverages in the country. And assume you are a marketing manager at a company that makes sugary soft drinks.
