FACT: Smokers Pay More for Life Insurance

Tag: Life EducationByron Udell @ 12:00 pm

On average, a smoker will pay up to 3 times as much for life insurance per year than that of a non-smoker.  Take for example a 40 year old man.  He would pay just $335 per year for a 20-year level term life insurance policy with a death benefit of $500,000.  If that same guy was a smoker, he’d pay $1385 for that same exact policy.

Why? Because people who smoke have an increased risk of heart disease, breathing disorders and certain cancers, to name but a few illnesses.

So if you’re thinking of giving up smoking, here’s another reason for doing so.
