Virginia smokers with Affordable Care Act coverage are getting a health insurance break this year, a State Corporation Commission report shows.
A new state law bans the tobacco use surcharge that insurers issuing Obamacare policies had been levying.
That translates to average savings for covered smokers of $25.62 a month.
The commission said elimination of the surcharge should cut the number of uninsured Virginians by 14,000.
