The Effect of Online Sales Bans on E‑Cigarette Use
The tobacco product landscape has dramatically changed in the past two decades due to electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), particularly electronic cigarettes (e‑cigarettes). Since their introduction to the US market in 2007, e‑cigarettes have surged in popularity, particularly among young people. In 2014, they surpassed conventional cigarettes as the most widely used tobacco product among consumers under the age of 18.
Do State Abortion Bans Affect Housing Markets?
These housing market effects are consistent with earlier evidence showing that abortion bans triggered population outflows from ban states and, taken together, suggest that reproductive rights policies can have an effect on the economic value of location. When states restrict abortion access, they effectively reduce the attractiveness of living there for many households — and this change in perceived amenity value shows up in measurable declines in rents and increases in vacancies.

Do State Abortion Bans Impact People’s Location Decisions?
The migration patterns following state abortion bans show that reproductive rights policies can affect where people choose to live, particularly among younger adults. This has important implications for state economies and labor markets. States with abortion bans may face challenges in attracting and retaining workers, especially younger workers who represent future economic potential.

E-cigarettes and adult smoking: Evidence from Minnesota
Abstract E-cigarettes provide nicotine in a vapor form, which is considered less harmful than the smoke from combustible cigarettes because it does not contain the toxins that are found in tobacco smoke. E-cigarettes may be effective in helping smokers to quit or they might simply provide smokers a method of bypassing smoking restrictions. There is very little causal evidence to date on how e-cigarette use impacts smoking cessation among adults.

The Impact of E-Cig Taxes on Smoking Rates: Evidence From Minnesota
By Henry Saffer , Daniel Dench , Michael Grossman & Dhaval Dave For SSRN Bottom Line: Minnesota's 95 percent e-cigarettes tax is a natural experiment to examine the impact of e-cig taxes on smoking rates. Consistent and robust evidence demonstrates that the Minnesota e-cig tax increased adult smoking relative to what it would have been in the absence of this tax. This finding suggests that similar e-cig taxes in other states will also reduce the smoking quit rate nationwide.
