Oct 12, 2019 – Companies like Prudential said that doesn’t matter. It will classify vapers as smokers, allowing them to charge higher insurance rates. “We see it as an attack on the industry to get us out of the way,” Landolfi said. “Why should insurance companies penalize people for trying to do something better? It’s just totally unfair to these people.”
Landolfi said his business already took a big hit, amid the nationwide health scare. The CDC called the widespread vape-related illnesses a ‘very concerning outbreak.’ “After this last scare, our shop and a lot of other shops have taken a 25% hit,” he said. “We’re just hoping that the tide will turn and we’ll be able to survive this.”
