    Abstract This study analyses the relationship between education and smoking behavior. Our empirical models were estimated using data for Brazilian citizens from the 2008 Special Survey on Tobacco Addiction. We estimated probit, sample-selection, and zero-inflated negative binomial models. Empirical analyses for women and men were conducted separately. We found that higher education levels are associated with lower smoking probability and lower daily consumption intensity.

    Resumo Este estudo analisa a relação entre educação e o comportamento tabagista. Os modelos empíricos foram estimados a partir de dados de cidadãos brasileiros participantes da Pesquisa Especial de Tabagismo de 2008. Os modelos estimados foram o probit, seleção amostral e binomial negativo de zeros inflados. Análises empíricas para mulheres e homens foram conduzidas separadamente. Os resultados mostram que níveis de educação mais elevados estão associados com menor probabilidade de fumar e menor intensidade de consumo diário.
