If you do live in Australia or a country that has a similar system, it does not increase the cost of your private health insurance if you are a smoker. if you are however caught for claiming medication that is not for yourself under your private health insurance, your health cover will be terminated and you run the risk of legal action. I hope that helps! what country are you in? i am in australia and i work for a private health insurer.

If your boyfriend wants to quit and can't do it without the drug, he can pay for the prescription himself without insurance. I also think he'll be more likely to stick to the program if he spends his own money on it. The cost will be worth it if he successfully quits because he will no longer have to spend $40 a week ($2,000 a year) on cigarettes.
