As many as 1.2 million people are thought to have tried to give up smoking yesterday, on No Smoking Day . The benefits of quitting are obvious – better health, fatter wallet and cheaper life insurance premiums .
A variety of life insurance companies have gone on record in the last week as saying that stopping smoking and being classified as a non-smoker could slash the cost of life insurance policies .
Smokers spend thousands of pounds each year on their habit, damaging their health and lowering quality of life. Quitting smoking at any age is seen as a good idea, with insurance companies making it clear that cutting premiums is very possible once someone has given up for a year or more.
