some states make the decision of what can or cant be added on as a surcharge.
some made vaping the same as tobacco use some didn't.
in states where insurance companies get to set their surcharge rates its
all over the place.shop around. i have read on the forum here of at least
2 companies that advertise the fact that if you vape your not considered a smoker.

Prudential is one. I wonder what the other one is. If insurance companies start losing significant business to Prudential, I imagine it won't be too long before they come around.

I've been wondering, if your doctor prescribes nicotine does the insurance company consider it smoking? Anybody know?

Insurance companies are the biggest scammers on the planet. Most are publicly traded and couldn't care less about your health or well being. This is the dark side of capitalism where shareholder value means more than wellness.
