in this paper. For example, this line of research could be extended to examine whether smoke-free bar policies are associated with lower levels of sexual assault and drunk driving among young adults. Future research should also investigate whether gender interacts with other demographic variables (e.g., age, race/ethnicity), to predict changes in drinking following increases in cigarette taxes. Additional prospective, longitudinal studies are needed to further evaluate the cross-over influence of cigarette taxation on alcohol-related outcomes and to more fully understand the broader public health implications of cigarette taxation for prevention and treatment.
