So, Now What?

Health Insurance

I realized something not long ago that I had never thought of before. The average cigar smoker probably pays a lot more in health insurance than the rest of us. It never dawned on me that those folks had to list themselves as smokers just like the cigarette folks.

So even if you only smoked one of your best cheyenne cigars a couple times a year on the golf course, you are paying as much for insurance as someone who smokes 3 packs of cigarettes a day.

I'm not saying that I think it is unfair, just interesting. I don't smoke either so I don't have a horse in the race, but I just had never thought about the fact that the occasional cigar guy is lumped in with the chain smokers.
