Some life insurers may charge you less for tobacco use than others.
For instance, if you smoke cigars occasionally or chew tobacco once in awhile, a few life insurance companies may offer you preferred non-smoker rates for life insurance.
Also, if you get a life insurance policy that includes a rate for tobacco use, it’s possible to lower your rate in the future if you quit smoking for 1 or 2 years and remain healthy.
This is called asking for your insurance company to consider a "Re-rate" once you are tobacco free for at least 12 months.
