Obama loves us!

[h=2]ObamaCare Smoking Cessation Therapy[/h]Zack says he want to quit and take care of himself by taking his medications properly. He agrees that the tobacco penalty may be an incentive to quit. But, coverage for him does not include smoking cessation as, if he buys insurance, it will be through the state exchange. Already 10 states have placed ceilings on premium penalties for individual health insurance coverage.
But, with his first year of coverage, he will be entitled to ObamaCare's new benefits which include smoking cessation therapy. If he succeeds, he will enjoy the non-penalty rate in his second year of coverage. Look for more articles coming soon which address the ObamaCare smoker glitch and make sure to check out the Health Insurance Marketplace to understand how you can save money on your health insurance as a smoker.

Sorry, If you vape, you are still a smoker.......Insurance companies are testing for the presence of cotinine. Which is a by product of having nicotine in your system.

Unless you vape 0mg juice, you'll still be paying the surcharge.....

Of course you are still a smoker! Is not the Provari an NRT? hehehe

Nicotine replacement medications/patches/etc. produce cotinine just as tobacco does. So someone on the patch will pay as well in this case.

Anyone who consumes any form of nicotine would be paying that surcharge. Whether it be chewing tobacco, snus, analogs, or e-cigarettes.

Knew it, too good to be true. Interesting link, though. Vaping is still considered smoking, as nice as it would be to have every smoker get on a Provari-nicotine is still a substance. FDA still doesn't have enough dirt on electronic cigarettes to say an official "Yay" or "Nay". Keeping it in the dark with questions is the government's best bet at the moment- to gain or to lose.
