This is the crux of most of this kinda of piecemeal legislation. If the change is localized, people just move to the place that suits them best.

The same thing happens with sugar tax on drinks at the local level, people just buy their drinks elsewhere.

It needs to be state wide to make much of a difference overall.

Right. So, I'm going to travel to the the next town over just to save 50 cents on a bottle of soda? These are often impulse buys, anyway.

Not for impulse buys, obviously. But for bulk purchases.
