Smoking can have a drastic effect on your Term Life Insurance Premiums

When shopping for term life insurance we sometimes don't even realize how changing our habits can drastically reduce our insurance premiums. Perhaps the biggest reduction can come if we simply just quit smoking.

I know it is easier said than done, but the cost of a pack of cigarettes does not end at the convenience store. Studies have shown that a 35 year old male smoker will pay nearly double the monthly premium over 25 years than would the same 35 year old male had he not been a smoker.

That is a huge difference over a long period of time and it is one that smokers often will not or can not consider. If you are a non smoker, you really have no problem because by the time you are of an age to shop for your own insurance, you are not likely to pick up smoking as a habit.

However, the opposite case is quite interesting. People who stop smoking often forget to go back to the insurer and tell them the great news! To reclassify yourself as a non smoker, you will have needed to quit for at least one year. If you make it that for not only will you feel better but your insurance company will give you a discount. It is possible that you must cancel your current policy and start a new one from that point but it will be worth it. The reward is really double, because you will save nearly one half of your monthly premium and you will also be saving the money you traditionally spend on cigarettes.

Now that's a deal.
