What is the main idea of paragraph 2? “When a consumer product in some way has a negative impact on society, governments often move to place high taxes on those products to discourage use, for example high taxes on cigarettes and alcohol.

A tax on such products would discourage mass purchasing and positively impact our society by curbing obesity rates.”
