How long do you have to be "smoke free" to be considered a NON smoker for The Affordable Care Act?

5. It's a blood test

I have heard reports of people vaping for 2 months and passing employer / insurance blood tests as "someone who lives with a smoker" = non-smoker.

A lot of people do not understand that vaping is NOT the same as smoking. The nicotine in eliquid is NOT a tobacco product. Nicotine is found in a wide variety of plants including tomatoes and eggplant.

It's political stupidity that considers vaping equal to smoking. There is no basis in science for it and fortunately, blood tests are based on science rather than arrogant ignorance.

This is one of those things that i would imagine fairly easy to do a study trial on and might clear up a lot of the questions about vaping vs. smoking - but it doesn't look like anyone has any intention of doing one.

I would reccomend asking in ECF since I know there are other's who are dealing with the same questions.
