Using panel data obtained from monthly surveys for 3 years, we examined how the effects of life events such as marriage, pregnancy, and birth on smoking and drinking behaviors differ between men and women. Key findings were: (1) marriage did not reduce smoking for men or women. (2) Both men and women’s consumption of alcohol and cigarettes were lower during pregnancy and after childbirth than before pregnancy. The degree of the effects of pregnancy for women was approximately 5–7 times larger than that for men. (3) Giving birth reduced consumption by roughly 11 cigarettes per day for women and two cigarettes per day for men compared with before pregnancy. These results indicate that a predicted negative externality to infants from their parents’ drinking and smoking behaviors gives parents an incentive to avoid consuming alcohol and tobacco.
