Should we have a heavy TAX for chewing gum?

Question

i live in a new complex and already the walkways are disgustingly stained with GUM.The amount of gum per metre is shocking.The appearance of our whole complex is now cheap and dirty.

People who use gum will never change. Ok so lets have a 200 dollar tax per packet of gum.Then lets clean up.

Answer 1

Increase Gum tax and decrease Tobacco tax

Answer 2

That's ridiculous. If people disposed of it properly this problem wouldn't exist, but charging people $200 for every packet of gum they purchase is a bit silly, don't you think? In my school, the gum is stuck under the desks and on the walls and there's nothing the teachers can do about it, even though they've always enforced the No Chewing rule. I agree that it's absolutely disgusting and very bad-mannered but having taxes for people who just want minty breath is a little extravagant.
