One of my co-workers contacted me today extremely worried.
Next year, there will be a change to our health insurance:
If you smoke OR VAPE, they will charge an extra $750 unless -
1) You take a pledge to quit
2) You make 1 free and 2 paid phone calls to a quit line
3) You schedule therapy sessions
4) You schedule a quit date
My response:
I told them last year that I'm a non-smoker. I'm still a non-smoker, and will state that on the form.
I will not allow them to pass go, and they will not collect their $750. I refuse to be punished for making myself healthy by subsidizing the bad habits of others.
After all, I really don't expect to be hospitalized for vaping related health issues.
She felt a bit better about that, and said she would do the same thing.
