I wonder if the company funds the insurance for employees and this is part of a cost reduction effort.
My company doesn’t forbid smoking, but smokers have to pay an extra fee each month as a smoker.
Of course the logical next question would be, “why just smoking?” Why not charge extra for being obese, excessive alcohol consumption, or any number of other lifestyle based factors which could increase medical costs? Not that I’d want to give them any ideas.
