Abstract
⺠State investments can crowd out or reinforce self investments in health. ⺠The UK NHS invested substantially in better care of cardiovascular disease (CVD). ⺠CVD patients receiving lipid-lowering drugs are more likely to quit smoking. ⺠Results robust to controlling for direct effect of smoking cessation advice. ⺠Doctors compensate for patients' attitude to health with medical treatment.
