Norwegian smokers
to pay more for
insurance
Norwegian life insurance companies now want smokers to pay twice as much in premium for their life insurances as non-smokers do. Even those who smoke only one cigarette a day may now expect to pay 50 per cent higher premiums for their life insurances.
- People know that it is dangerous to smoke. This is by now well documented, and we therefore feel it is right to differentiate. It is also an extra incentive for smokers to quit, says Jan Otto Risebrobakken of the Storebrand Insurance Company.
