Obezite vücutta sağlığı bozacak kadar aşırı yağ birikmesi anlamına gelmektedir. Bulaşıcı bir hastalık olmamasına karşın obezite oranı hızla artmaktadır. Obezite, sadece fazla kilo sorunu olmayıp ciddi ekonomik ve sosyal sonuçları olan toplumsal bir problemdir. Obeziteyle mücadelede birçok gelişmiş ülkede hükümetler çeşitli politikalar uygulamaktadır. Bunları; bilinçlendirme kampanyaları, mobil uygulamalar, gıda etiketlerinde düzenleme, kısıtlamalar ve yasaklar, obezite vergisi şeklinde sıralamak mümkündür. Çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de obeziteyle mücadelede kullanılması planlanan obezite vergisine karşı bireylerin düşüncelerini araştırmaktır. Nitel araştırma desenlerinden Gömülü Teori yaklaşımının izlendiği çalışmada, Zonguldak’ta farklı meslek gruplarından insanlarla görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcılar obezite vergisine karşı tam anlamıyla olumsuz bir tavır sergilememekte ve uygulanacak olan vergi politikasının obeziteyi azaltacağını düşünmektedir. Ayrıca uygulamaya konulacak olan obezite vergisinin obeziteyle mücadelede tek başına etkili ol(a)mayacağı ve diğer politikalarla desteklenmesi gerektiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
