Note: The models are based on a sample size of 856 observations. Standard errors of regression coefficients are in parentheses. The 95% confidence bounds of the odds ratio estimates are in brackets. The first IV condition column reports a chisquare test of the joint significance of the instruments in the cigarettes function (degrees of freedom [df] in brackets). The second IV condition reports the over-identification chi-square test (df in brackets).
