Some economists advocate a ____________ on the consumption of such products as gasoline, liquor, cigarettes, and even soda pop, in the hope that consumers will think about how their purchases are having negative impacts on themselves and their environment.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is Sin tax.

Explanation:

A sin tax is a state-sponsored tax that is added to products or services that are considered vices, such as alcohol, tobacco and gambling. These types of taxes are collected by governments to deter individuals from participating in such activities without making the use of the products illegal. These taxes also constitute a source of revenue for the government.
