  1. L.Smoking refers to the first lag of smoking prevalence; Death rate and FDI are introduced in Models 2 and 3 to show the robustness of the effect of tax; AR (2) refers to second order-serial correlation test; Hansen refers to the test for overidentification; Robust standard errors in parentheses; * p < 0.1, ** p < 0.05, *** p < 0.01; For brevity, year dummies are not reported
