The States Where Vaping is the Most Popular

Posted on June 19, 2019June 18, 2019 by admin

LendingTree company, and one of the nation’s leading online insurance marketplaces, today released a report compiled from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data to see where e-cigarette usage is most prevalent.

America’s youth could force the hand of insurance companies to create a clear designation on e-cigarette use. In 2018, 3.6 million middle school and high school students reported e-cigarette use. As the e-cigarette using youth come of age and join individual health insurance markets, it could certainly pressure insurers into a formal designation. A designation as tobacco use would see significant increases in insurance premiums.

Key Findings:

  • Top states for vaping: Oklahoma (1), Kentucky (2), Indiana (3), Tennessee (4)
  • Bottom states for vaping: California (50), Vermont (49), and Connecticut (48)
  • Health Insurance Impact of E-Cigarettes: While the FDA does classify the e-cigarette as a tobacco product yet, it still tends to be a gray area for most insurance companies.
    • The Tobacco Use Surcharge is a rule under the ACA that allows insurers to increase premiums up to a maximum of 50 percent for enrollees who signal they use tobacco.
