These include a ban on advertising and promoting junk food, a limit on takeaways near schools and an energy drink ban for children and young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If improvements aren\u2019t seen, the government will consider a tax on sweet snacks and junk food.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Head of Policy at Public Health Wales, Dr Sumina Azam, said: \u201cWe found taxes on foods high in fat, salt or sugar have helped to reduce purchasing and consumption behaviour, notably in Mexico and Hungary.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the success of the 2018 levy on sugary drinks, campaign groups such as <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.actiononsugar.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Action on Sugar<\/a> are calling for sweets, cakes and biscuits to be targeted next.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the idea of a snack tax faces opposition from some who argue obesity is an individual responsibility. Others point out lower socioeconomic groups will be hit hardest by price increases through taxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We took to the streets of Cardiff to find out how people felt about paying more for their favourite unhealthy snacks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do you think about the introduction of a tax on sugary snacks and junk food in the UK?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2019\/10\/nologo_3_suzy_PJ-1-468x312.jpg\" alt=\"Sugar tax voxpop\" class=\"wp-image-48470\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2019\/10\/nologo_3_suzy_PJ-1-468x312.jpg\" alt=\"Sugar tax voxpop\" class=\"wp-image-48470\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Suzy Hunt, 38, nutritionist and sports therapist, Cardiff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s a brilliant idea.
