Life Insurance is more expensive for smokers. If you quit smoking and all nicotine products for at least 12 consecutive months, most insurers will remove your smoking status from your policy, and reduce your premiums.
Before you renew or convert your policy, always quote a new one first, to make sure there isn’t a more cost effective option for which you could qualify.
The younger you are when you buy Life Insurance, the less expensive it will be!
If you lose weight healthily, or your health history is consistently better than it was for a long period of time, you could qualify for lower premiums.
