 Obezite, bireyin aşırı kilolu olmaşişmanlık durumuna verilen addır ve günümüzde giderek artmaktadır. Sağlıksız yiyecek ve içeceklerin aşırı tüketimi sonucu oluşan obezite; ciddi sağlık sorunlarına neden olmaktadır. Bu sebeple hükümetler, obeziteyi önlemek amacıyla bazı yollara başvurabilmektedir. Bu yollardan biri; sağlıksız olarak kabul edilen bazı yiyecek ve içeceklerin tüketiminin azaltılmasını sağlamaktır. Bu amaçla devletler, bu tür yiyecek ve içeceklerden obezite vergisi almaktadır. Son yıllarda birçok ülkede obezite vergisi uygulanmakta, Türkiyede ise henüz tartışılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiyede obezite vergisinin halk tarafından kabul edilebilirliğine dair görüşleri değerlendirmektir. Çünkü obeziteyi önlemek amacıyla uygulanacak verginin başarısı, halkın vergiye vereceği tepkiye bağlıdır. Araştırma, Denizli İlinde 01.07.2023-01.10.2023 tarihleri arasında, anket uygulanan 18 yaş ve üzeri 337 gönüllü bireyle yapılmıştır. Veriler, SPSS programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucuna göre, katılımcıların obezite vergisini kabul edebilirlik düzeyleri düşük çıkmıştır. Katılımcıların çoğu obezite vergisini desteklememektedir, fakat obezite ile mücadelede vergi dışı araçların kullanılması gerektiğini düşünmektedirler.
