A Note on Schooling and Smoking: the issue revisited

The effect of schooling on the odds that an adult individual smokes is estimated. Empirial results show that schooling has a negative effect on the odds that an individual smokes. The odds of smoking by year of schooling and by gender and age are also calculated. These simulations generally suggest that the odds of smoking are reduced by at least half after the first 10 years of schooling.
