Tobacco use is actually written into the ACA as an acceptable thing for insurers to discriminate on (there’s even a cap to how much they can add on for it — 50% of the total premium IIRC).
I assume Delta’s lawyers know better than I (who am not a lawyer), but I’d be curious to know how this squares with the ACA.
