论文摘要
本文探讨了教育与开始吸烟的决定以及戒烟的决定之间的联系。数据是从IPUMS CP和疾病控制和预防中心收集的。概率分析（随着概率重量和鲁棒标准错误的使用）表明，每增加一年的教育都会降低吸烟概率的2.3个百分点，并在退出可能性，持有房屋限制，公共限制，香烟价格，家庭收入，年龄，年龄，性别，种族和种族持续的情况下增加3.53个百分点。我认为，烟草流行是一个严重的全球问题，可以通过使用仔细的吸烟限制和教育法规来缓解烟草。
This paper explores the link between education and the decision to start smoking as well as the decision to quit smoking. Data is gathered from IPUMS CPS and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Probit analysis (with the use of probability weight and robust standard error) indicates that every additional year of education will reduce the 2.3 percentage point of the smoking probability and will add 3.53 percentage point in quitting likelihood, holding home restriction, public restriction, cigarette price, family income, age, gender, race, and ethnicity constant. I believe that tobacco epidemic is a serious global issue that may be mitigated by using careful regulations on smoking restriction and education.
