Do we agree that some types of health insurance can and do charge a higher premium for tobacco users? Simple question, yes or no. A yes answer and we can each go on our separate ways, and simply dispense with any further discussion about how common this is or not.
I did say that, self insured plans can have surcharges that traditional plans cannot. Refer back to the original posts. Also I stated I assumed you had traditional coverage because in this day and age self insurance is very rare especially for medical insurance.

I also said you should have been more forthcoming and stated the origin of your employers policy.
