Goodbye smokers' corner : health effects of school smoking bans
Pfeifer, Gregor; Reutter, Mirjam; Strohmaier, Kristina - 2017
We estimate the causal impact of school smoking bans in Germany on the propensity and intensity of smoking. Using … such smoking bans to identify the effects of interest. The estimates from our multipledifferences approach show that six to … ten years after intervention, propensity towards smoking is reduced by 7-16 percent, while the number of smoked cigarettes …
