Quit Smoking To Save More Than Your Health

Today is national No Smoking Day and serves as a reminder that giving up smoking can do more than help you to live longer and healthier. With a packet of cigarettes now costing over £5, a 20-a-day smoking habit will cost over £1,800 a year to fund. However the costs don’t end there. Smokers also pay significantly more for their life and health insurance when compared to non-smokers… premiums for life and critical illness can be 75% more for smokers.
However, if you manage to give up smoking for 12 months many insurance companies will class you as a non-smoker, which means that you could reapply for you life cover and probably benefit from cheaper premiums. The savings could add up to many hundreds of pounds every year.
Policyholders thinking of switching any insurance cover should always make sure the new cover is up and running before cancelling any existing policies. Our team can help manage this process with you.
