How much smoking would make an insurance company consider you a smoker?
According to insurance companies, you are a smoker if you have smoked in the past year. It doesn’t matter whether you are a chain smoker or someone who only smokes on special occasions. Unfortunately, insurance companies treat all smokers the same way.
Lying about your smoking or failing to disclose it can be dangerous. It may be considered insurance fraud and an insurance company can deny your beneficiary’s payment after you die. Remember that most insurance companies will not just take your word. They do their own investigations. Even if they do not find any evidence of you being a smoker right away, it may come up in future.
If you quit smoking, your life insurance premiums may go down after some time. The length of time it takes depends on your insurance company.
