FIRST DAY OF CLASS: WEDNESDAY, 1/11/17 ASSIGNMENT: For the first class, please consider the following: Without doing any research, answer these questions: How do you feel about soda taxes? Do you feel the same way about soda taxes as you do about cigarette taxes? Why or why not? Now, do some research on soda taxes and the arguments

for and against them. Then answer these questions: Do you care about how the revenue from a soda tax is spent? Does this affect your view of the taxes? Do you think there is a good argument for imposing these taxes, from a public health perspective? What other measures might be taken instead of, or in addition to, a soda tax, to fight the problems the soda tax is designed to address?



Are soda taxes even a proper subject of public health law in the first place?
