AB  - We study the impact of school smoking bans on individual health behavior in Germany. Using a multiple difference-in-differences approach in combination with randomization inference, we find that for individuals affected by a smoking ban during their school time, the propensity toward smoking declines by 14–22 percent, while the number of smoked cigarettes per day decreases by 19–25 percent. After elaborating on treatment effect heterogeneity and intensity, we evaluate spillovers to smoking behavior of nontreated individuals living in the same household.
