LOL - He's a documented smoker. He now has a pre-existing condition. For the rest of his life, his insurance company can choose to deny or rescind his health coverage for for allergies, colds, sinus infections, asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis, laryngitis, various cancers, heart trouble, esophageal problems, stomach problems, ear infections, hypertension ...
