    If higher taxes do not induce people to quit smoking (or not start smoking), then variation in tax rates tells us nothing about the effect of smoking on health.

    Many schemes require the IV to be unpredictable by an adversary. This is effected by selecting the IV at random or pseudo-randomly.
