I hate to bring this thread back up to the top, but our company just announced a new policy that has me thinking about this thread:
New this year! Tobacco-use verification
To avoid paying an additional $50 per person each month for 2014 medical plan benefits, you need to verify by Dec. 3, 2013, that you and/or your covered spouse or eligible domestic partner does not use tobacco products. If you verify that you and/or your covered spouse or eligible domestic partner has used tobacco products in the past six months, and do not satisfy a reasonable alternative or receive a physician waiver by Dec. 3, 2013, you will pay an additional $50 monthly per person contribution for 2014 medical benefits. To complete the tobacco-use verification and to learn more, visit the Your Benefits Resources website.
They are going to charge up to $100 a month if you and your spouse smoke! The policy says you can be fired for lying too. They won't charge you if you're a smoker who is enrolled in a program to quit. We're all joking it'll be too much soda drinking next year
