Even though the other human development indicators are insignificant in this study, an increase in the level of life expectancy is indirectly due to better living standard and improved education. This study has an interesting implication for Malaysia’s policy in controlling cigarettes consumption. Higher taxation on cigarettes may not the only effective policy, but greater emphasis on factors that lead to improvement in life expectancy will likely reduce cigarette consumption in Malaysia.
