Prudential boosts life insurance rates for vapers - Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE:PRU) | Seeking Alpha
Prudential Financial (NYSE:PRU) is raising life insurance rates for customers who vape, in continuing fallout from the lung-injury health scare surrounding the e-smoking.
Vapers will be classified as smokers rather than nonsmokers on individual policies, Prudential says, generally resulting in higher charges.
A study this week found that e-cigarette vapor causes lung cancer and possibly bladder cancer in mice.
