The aim of this study is to investigate the hypothesis that smoking reduces earnings. We use data from the Special Survey on Tobacco Addiction, which was jointly carried out with the 2008 Brazilian National Household Sample Survey. Our results support the hypothesis that smoking reduces wages. Furthermore, we found that about two-thirds of wage differential between male smokers and non-smokers is due to observable characteristics.
