Scrap the sugar tax

What the petition asks
Companies are reducing the sugar in their drinks and adding sweeteners to make sure they don’t have to charge extra. I am allergic to sweeteners.
I’m not the only one in the UK who is allergic to sweeteners who would like to have a non-alcoholic drink when they go out without having to go through every option to find that all they can have is water. Companies are adding sweetener to drink and it’s changing the flavour that we all love.
