And also the price should be increased for unhealthy items that cause more usage of the healthcare system and cause social issues like alcohol and tobacco
Makes sense, though that could also be mitigated through a consumption tax rather then a direct price increase. A price increase would just go straight to the producer.
Absolutely. Discouraged through gradual price increases or decreasing availability and the taxes go to paying for the issues that the item causes. Honestly, this could also work in a capitalist society or a socialist one where the people may still be resistant to giving up that item (like the prevalence of smoking in China)
