Vape Smoker's Life Insurance Solution

Most life insurance companies automatically classify vape users as smokers. LifeStein works with the only carrier currently offering true non-smoker underwriting for eligible vape users — a distinction most agents and online tools don't know exists.

Why Most Vape Users Overpay For Life Insurance

The life insurance industry hasn't kept up with the shift from cigarettes to vaping. The result: millions of vape users are being charged smoker rates by default — even if they've never touched a cigarette.

Automatic Tobacco Classification

The vast majority of life insurance carriers treat all nicotine delivery systems — including e-cigarettes, pods, and disposables — as "tobacco use." This triggers smoker premium tables without any nuanced underwriting review of your specific vaping habits.

Nicotine Shows Up on Exams

​Life insurance medical exams include urine and blood panels that test for cotinine — a metabolite of nicotine. Vaping will typically trigger a positive nicotine test, which locks you into smoker rates at standard carriers unless you work with an underwriter who evaluates vape use under a different framework.

Premiums Inflated 2×–4×

Smoker life insurance rates are typically 2 to 4 times higher than non-smoker rates for the same age, health, and coverage amount. On a $500,000 20-year term policy, this difference can add up to tens of thousands of dollars over the life of the policy.

Anonymous Case Shopping Changes Everything

LifeStein shops your case anonymously with underwriters before any application is submitted. This protects your MIB record from unnecessary application history, prevents adverse underwriting flags, and allows us to identify which carriers and underwriting pathways are most favorable for your specific vape profile.

Most Agents Don't Know the Alternative Exists

​There is currently one carrier in the U.S. market offering a non-smoker underwriting pathway specifically for eligible vape users. Most captive agents, online quote tools, and general brokers have no access to or knowledge of this program — leaving their vape-using clients trapped paying smoker rates unnecessarily.
