According to the deputy, the idea is correct, but it is necessary to consider in what form to present the warning.
“It may be on every drink, by analogy with smoking and cigarettes, to write about the harm that frequent use of sugar-containing drinks can cause,” the parliamentarian suggested.
The interlocutor of RT recalled that excise duty on sweet drinks will be introduced next year.
“And people will naturally ask why the price went up.
And then, of course, this explanation will be very timely,” added Tumusov.
Earlier, Anton Orlov, director of the Institute for the Study of Contemporary Politics, suggested informing consumers about the dangers of sugar drinks.
He noted that a significant part of society, including underage citizens, have a superficial idea of the threat that sugar-containing drinks pose and what diseases their regular consumption can lead to.
