If you’re a smoker, you’re probably well aware of the fact that it can impact your health. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable disease, disability and death in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Smoking accounts for 480,000 deaths (or 1 in 5 deaths) per year. 

And here’s another unpleasant side effect of smoking: significantly more expensive life insurance rates. Smokers can pay nearly four times more for a life insurance policy compared to someone who doesn’t smoke.
