Liam and Jacob are friends, and they have decided to buy a life insurance policy. Both are healthy men in their 30s and have a stable income. To their surprise, the provider asks Jacob for a higher premium for the same policy. Why? You might be wondering. It’s because Jacob is a smoker, Liam is not. Consuming tobacco in any form, in addition to vaping and smoking e-cigarettes, is smoking, according to the insurers. Many of them also don’t rule out cannabis smoking as entirely risk-free.
