  1. OLS regression results are presented. The outcome is VSLY measured in PPP adjusted 2017 international $. Wealth index is calculated at the household level, but vast majority of households have only one family member interviewed. Age is age in years, female is a binary indicator for female, and married is a binary indicator for being currently married. Self-reported health is measured on a 1–5 Likert Scale with 5 being the highest health status and 1 being the lowest. Cigarette expenditure is measured by the self-reported total household expenditure on cigarette in the past 7 days in local currency; measured only for half of the participants. Robust standard errors in parentheses: ***p < 0.01, **p < 0.05, *p < 0.1
