چکیده انگلیسی
This paper tests the hypothesis that education improves health and increases people's life expectancy. It does so by analyzing the effect of education on smoking behaviors. To account for the endogeneity of smoking, the analysis develops an instrumental variable approach which relies on the fact that during the Vietnam War college attendance provided a strategy to avoid the draft. The results indicate that education does affect smoking decisions: educated individuals are less likely to smoke, and among those who initiated smoking, they are more likely to have stopped.
