Do Life and Health insurance companies consider vaping the same as smoking?

Not yet, I would imagine as more research is carried out that could change, for example, if they find that vaping has significant harmful effects, it would make sense for them to take it into consideration.

This question is pertaining to insurance. I know. My cardiologist doesnā€™t agree. He asked if I smoked and and I told him I vaped. He didnā€™t recommend I quit and he preferred I vaped over smoking.
His staff has turned over since he put a no smoking policy for employees. Any vapers were allowed to stay on.

I beg to differ. There is so much disinformation out there on vaping. Some people are haterā€™s of big tobacco and no interest in questioning the FDA and CDC and their studies. I see it every day in statements made by people on investment sites bulletin boards. Big tobacco is evil , Nicotine kills, Vaping will kill you.
This has been ingrained in peopleā€™s brain since the tobacco settlement.

Agreed @rcleven, but donā€™t forget all of the ā€œconfusionā€ regarding ā€¦

The centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) eventually all but acknowledged that e-cigarette deaths and lung disease had nothing to do with legal nicotine e-cigarettes.

Not reallyā€¦I mean ya when your in the thread it stands out . When its flagged its just the post . When this was flagged there were about 4 or 5 other things flagged all were flagged for spam except for this one . This was flagged as inappropriate . When i looked at the flag and seen ā€œinappropriateā€ it came off like it was being flagged because person was saying Smoking is the same as Vaping which always pisses people off. No links , no follow up with links , and a couple people replied and welcomed the person . The 2 people who replied to the person are 2 members who usually catch spam and flag it.
