Can a company up your premium if you ask in-depth questions?

And by in-depth, I mean; you have a clean bill of health and you don't smoke, and you start asking them; "Will smoking increase the premium?" or "If I take a job here will it increase?".

But you don't actually do those kind of things, just ask the question. Could they increase the premiums due to you asking them often enough because they think you might take it up in the future?

If it is health related and they would have to pay for it, yeah I think they can ask just about anything, just like when they ask about pre existing conditions.

It is almost saying okay you have 10 speeding tickets, you are more likely to have an accident. Points on your license = higher premuims, or do you live in a flood zone for home owners insurance, if they think it is a risk, they can ask it. Hope this helps.

I meant you, the one getting insured, asking the questions to the insurer itself. Not the other way around.
