Facts about smokers buying health insurance:
Quit smoking today because most applicants must have refrained from smoking cigarettes for at least 12 months to qualify for nonsmoker life insurance rates at most companies.
The lowest estimated annual premium for a 20-year $500,000 term life policy for a 40-year-old California man who doesn’t smoke is $348, according to Nerd Wallet research. As a smoker that same man would pay more than four times that amount for the same amount of coverage: $1,515 a year.
