Smokers may be paying as much as £2,000 more in life insurance premiums than non-smokers, according to price comparison website moneysupermarket.com. Following on from last yearâs public smoking ban this is another area in which smokers are being specifically targeted. Premiums for non-smokers have slowly fallen in the last few years whereas those for smokers have risen sharply, some estimates claim that smoking policy holders are paying up to 100% more than their non-smoking counterparts.
The same is true of critical illness cover, which pays out a lump sum in the event of the policy-holder contracting a serious illness or injury. Smokers are seen as much more of a risk to insurers as the number of medical conditions that they could develop is far greater than that of a non-smoker.
According to Michael Challiner, editor of Express Life Insurance, this dramatic disparity is due to the increased competition between lenders brought about by the advent of the Internet: âIt is now so easy to reach a decision that a âprice warâ has developed and some very competitive quotations are available. This competition has however had an inevitable effect in that insurance companies have had to tighten up their procedures or risk losing money on the narrower margins. So they have hit the obvious target â smokers.â
Moneysupermarket.com have estimated that a thirty five year old male smoker could save 44% on his premiums if he quit the habit, paying only £9.91 per month over a twenty five year period as opposed to the £17.68 he would currently be paying.
However, Louise Cuming, a spokesperson for the website, has warned that the financial benefits of giving up smoking could be some time coming. Because of the highly addictive nature of cigarettes telling your insurer that you havenât had a fag for a couple of days will not be convincing enough for them to lower your premiums. Most insurers require their clients to prove that they have been a non-smoker for a whole year before agreeing to a reduction in premiums. When this reduction comes, however, it could be as much as 60%.
Combined with ever-escalating cigarette prices this news could be the incentive that many smokers need to quit the habit. There are also more policies springing up which encourage and reward positive lifestyle changes. PruProtect is the first to link the cost of premiums to advances in the holderâs health. Speaking on last monthâs National No Smoking Day, Sammy Rubin, CEO, PruProtect, said: âNational No Smoking Day is a time when smokers will be thinking about the true cost of their habit, financially and physically. At PruProtect we support both, and offer those wanting to quit not only a financial incentive by saving money on premiums, but encourage people to lead a healthier life style through our Vitality points scheme. To help those finding it tough to quit, we also offer heavily discounted entry to Alan Carr’s Easy Way smoking cessation courses.â

Many Brits Take Out Personal Loans in Secret
Taking out an unsecured personal loan still carries a social stigma, according to a study by Abbey Loans. A large amount of Britons are taking out loans in secret, as they are too ashamed to admit their financial position to friends and family. Over £7 billion is borrowed in secret each year for a variety of purposes. The most common reason is paying off debts (56%) but 15% take out the loan to make home improvements whilst 7% use it for medical bills and 2% for cosmetic surgery.

If you have been smoking for a while, it can have a negative effect on your lungs. Some of those negative effects are a chronic hacking cough as well as shortness of breath. If you have these symptoms, most likely, your lungs are clogging up with tar and other chemicals from smoking. But the situation is not irreversible, you can still get clear lungs in a relatively short time.
So, how does smoking interfere with your lungs? In healthy clear lungs, the passage ways in your lungs must be kept clean and free of sediments that could clog the tiny passage ways and interfere with the oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange. In order to maintain good clear lungs, your lungs contain thousands of tiny hair like stalks called cilia. The cilia continually sweep impurities and sediment out of the lungs to keep them clean.
When you smoke, tar and other chemicals are drawn into the lungs. If you are just an occasional smoker, the cilia can easily keep the lungs clean. But if you are a heavy smoker, the cilia cannot effectively do their job. As you continue to smoke, many of the tiny cilia are damaged, making the cleaning process even more difficult. Over time, tar from cigarette smoke begins to clog the tiny air chambers.
If you smoke regular cigarettes, as opposed to light or low tar versions, you inhale about 22 milligrams with each puff. Smoking 2 packs a day, you can ingest almost a quart on tar during the course of a year. It is difficult, if not impossible, for your system to keep up with this much inhaled tar and maintain clear lungs. As a result, you may experience coughing and shortness of breath.
So, what can you do if you have a nasty cough and want to get back your healthy clear lungs? The solution is simple. There is a simple process that can give you nice clear lungs. The technique uses a simple combination of food supplements and vitamins that rinse the toxins out of your lungs and flush them out of your body. This easy process will clean out your lungs 15 – 20 times faster than your body can do it on its own.
If you’ve been smoking for some time now, you can get rid of that hacking cough and get clear lungs. Download the details for this easy process at Get Clear Lungs Now!

Thanks for the comments. Ignorant or well informed, all are welcome. VO: Every cigarette is doing you damage. Every time you inhale, tobacco smoke condenses in your lungs to form tar. This is a healthy lung. And this is the amount of tar a pack-a-day smoker breathes in every year. Every cigarette is doing you damage.

Those who smoke absolutely love the occasional puff on a cigarette. Little do they know what their habit is doing to them.
As the cigarette smoke first enters the body a multitude of noxious, harmful gasses associated with smoking (ammonia, formaldehyde, hydrogen sulfide, acetone, benzene, tar, hydrogen cyanide, cadmium and carbon monoxide to name but a few from around 4000 chemicals) start to react with living tissues such as the eyes, nose and throat. These are particularly sensitive areas of the body which when damaged through time lead to what is known as a ‘smokers cough’.
The natural cleaning mechanism of your lungs starts to get eroded away. Your lungs begin to function at an increased rate, all the time the harmful compounds from smoke attacking your airway’s tissues. Mucous starts to build up causing you to cough. Large quantities of excess mucous act as places for pathogens, e.g. flu and bronchitis, to reproduce.
Deeper into your lungs scavenger cells, which typically remove alien particles from your lung’s airways, are damaged. The protein ‘elastin’ which keeps your lungs flexible is weakened promoting the development of emphysema. Chronic obstructive lung disease is a possibility with smokers. This disease has been directly linked to smoking.
Once in your lungs, smoke raises your heartbeat by as much as 30% during the initial 10 minutes of smoking. Chemicals such as nicotine have produced abnormal heartbeats in many smokers.
As your heart rate heightens so does your blood pressure therefore levying pressure onto all your blood vessels and the heart its self. As a result your chances of a heart attack or stroke are more likely.
Carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless and lethal gas typical of car exhaust fumes moves straight into your blood stream via the lungs. This simple organic compound acts to combine with more force than oxygen to the hemoglobin in red blood cells. This forces away any molecules of oxygen. Never being released, the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood is lowered by up to 15%. Less than normal levels of energy providing oxygen reach your brain and other tissues, physical activity becomes more difficult.
Nicotine reaches the brain in around 10 seconds after having inhaled your first cigarette smoke. Absorbed into the blood and hitting the brain, the central nervous system is affected resulting in an increase in heart beats which in turn increases your hearts requirement for oxygen.
Smoke promotes your skin’s blood vessels constricting, giving the appearance of more wrinkles. Smoking also has the affect of drying out skin. What you may end up with after many years addicted to smoking is a pale weak complexion, grey skin that is wrinkled as well as heavy lines around the mouth and eyes.
With all this horrible information above saying how a smokers situation really is why not start and persevere with a quit smoking program. Contrary to popular belief health improvements happen quicker than you may think! You’ll save a whole heap of cash, food will taste better and you’ll feel and look healthier.

Smokers may be paying as much as £2,000 more in life insurance premiums than non-smokers, according to price comparison website moneysupermarket.com. Following on from last yearâs public smoking ban this is another area in which smokers are being specifically targeted. Premiums for non-smokers have slowly fallen in the last few years whereas those for smokers have risen sharply, some estimates claim that smoking policy holders are paying up to 100% more than their non-smoking counterparts.
The same is true of critical illness cover, which pays out a lump sum in the event of the policy-holder contracting a serious illness or injury. Smokers are seen as much more of a risk to insurers as the number of medical conditions that they could develop is far greater than that of a non-smoker.
According to Michael Challiner, editor of Express Life Insurance, this dramatic disparity is due to the increased competition between lenders brought about by the advent of the Internet: âIt is now so easy to reach a decision that a âprice warâ has developed and some very competitive quotations are available. This competition has however had an inevitable effect in that insurance companies have had to tighten up their procedures or risk losing money on the narrower margins. So they have hit the obvious target â smokers.â
Moneysupermarket.com have estimated that a thirty five year old male smoker could save 44% on his premiums if he quit the habit, paying only £9.91 per month over a twenty five year period as opposed to the £17.68 he would currently be paying.
However, Louise Cuming, a spokesperson for the website, has warned that the financial benefits of giving up smoking could be some time coming. Because of the highly addictive nature of cigarettes telling your insurer that you havenât had a fag for a couple of days will not be convincing enough for them to lower your premiums. Most insurers require their clients to prove that they have been a non-smoker for a whole year before agreeing to a reduction in premiums. When this reduction comes, however, it could be as much as 60%.
Combined with ever-escalating cigarette prices this news could be the incentive that many smokers need to quit the habit. There are also more policies springing up which encourage and reward positive lifestyle changes. PruProtect is the first to link the cost of premiums to advances in the holderâs health. Speaking on last monthâs National No Smoking Day, Sammy Rubin, CEO, PruProtect, said: âNational No Smoking Day is a time when smokers will be thinking about the true cost of their habit, financially and physically. At PruProtect we support both, and offer those wanting to quit not only a financial incentive by saving money on premiums, but encourage people to lead a healthier life style through our Vitality points scheme. To help those finding it tough to quit, we also offer heavily discounted entry to Alan Carr’s Easy Way smoking cessation courses.â

The Smokey Way to Find the Best Smoker Life Insurance Rates
It goes without saying that life insurance companies want their policy holders to be as healthy as possible. To make underwriting easier, insurance companies put applicants into health-related categories and with premiums to match. A normally healthy individual might be in the “standard” category, whereas someone who is very health might be in the “preferred” or “preferred plus” category.

Taking out an unsecured personal loan still carries a social stigma, according to a study by Abbey Loans. A large amount of Britons are taking out loans in secret, as they are too ashamed to admit their financial position to friends and family. Over £7 billion is borrowed in secret each year for a variety of purposes. The most common reason is paying off debts (56%) but 15% take out the loan to make home improvements whilst 7% use it for medical bills and 2% for cosmetic surgery.

Smokers may be paying as much as £2,000 more in life insurance premiums than non-smokers, according to price comparison website moneysupermarket.com. Following on from last yearâs public smoking ban this is another area in which smokers are being specifically targeted. Premiums for non-smokers have slowly fallen in the last few years whereas those for smokers have risen sharply, some estimates claim that smoking policy holders are paying up to 100% more than their non-smoking counterparts.
The same is true of critical illness cover, which pays out a lump sum in the event of the policy-holder contracting a serious illness or injury. Smokers are seen as much more of a risk to insurers as the number of medical conditions that they could develop is far greater than that of a non-smoker.
According to Michael Challiner, editor of Express Life Insurance, this dramatic disparity is due to the increased competition between lenders brought about by the advent of the Internet: âIt is now so easy to reach a decision that a âprice warâ has developed and some very competitive quotations are available. This competition has however had an inevitable effect in that insurance companies have had to tighten up their procedures or risk losing money on the narrower margins. So they have hit the obvious target â smokers.â
Moneysupermarket.com have estimated that a thirty five year old male smoker could save 44% on his premiums if he quit the habit, paying only £9.91 per month over a twenty five year period as opposed to the £17.68 he would currently be paying.
However, Louise Cuming, a spokesperson for the website, has warned that the financial benefits of giving up smoking could be some time coming. Because of the highly addictive nature of cigarettes telling your insurer that you havenât had a fag for a couple of days will not be convincing enough for them to lower your premiums. Most insurers require their clients to prove that they have been a non-smoker for a whole year before agreeing to a reduction in premiums. When this reduction comes, however, it could be as much as 60%.
Combined with ever-escalating cigarette prices this news could be the incentive that many smokers need to quit the habit. There are also more policies springing up which encourage and reward positive lifestyle changes. PruProtect is the first to link the cost of premiums to advances in the holderâs health. Speaking on last monthâs National No Smoking Day, Sammy Rubin, CEO, PruProtect, said: âNational No Smoking Day is a time when smokers will be thinking about the true cost of their habit, financially and physically. At PruProtect we support both, and offer those wanting to quit not only a financial incentive by saving money on premiums, but encourage people to lead a healthier life style through our Vitality points scheme. To help those finding it tough to quit, we also offer heavily discounted entry to Alan Carr’s Easy Way smoking cessation courses.â

Its About Time Smokers Quit!
Its About Time Smokers Quit!
Those who smoke absolutely love the occasional puff on a cigarette. Little do they know what their habit is doing to them.
As the cigarette smoke first enters the body a multitude of noxious, harmful gasses associated with smoking (ammonia, formaldehyde, hydrogen sulfide, acetone, benzene, tar, hydrogen cyanide, cadmium and carbon monoxide to name but a few from around 4000 chemicals) start to react with living tissues such as the eyes, nose and throat. These are particularly sensitive areas of the body which when damaged through time lead to what is known as a ‘smokers cough’.
The natural cleaning mechanism of your lungs starts to get eroded away. Your lungs begin to function at an increased rate, all the time the harmful compounds from smoke attacking your airway’s tissues. Mucous starts to build up causing you to cough. Large quantities of excess mucous act as places for pathogens, e.g. flu and bronchitis, to reproduce.
Deeper into your lungs scavenger cells, which typically remove alien particles from your lung’s airways, are damaged. The protein ‘elastin’ which keeps your lungs flexible is weakened promoting the development of emphysema. Chronic obstructive lung disease is a possibility with smokers. This disease has been directly linked to smoking.
Once in your lungs, smoke raises your heartbeat by as much as 30% during the initial 10 minutes of smoking. Chemicals such as nicotine have produced abnormal heartbeats in many smokers.
As your heart rate heightens so does your blood pressure therefore levying pressure onto all your blood vessels and the heart its self. As a result your chances of a heart attack or stroke are more likely.
Carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless and lethal gas typical of car exhaust fumes moves straight into your blood stream via the lungs. This simple organic compound acts to combine with more force than oxygen to the hemoglobin in red blood cells. This forces away any molecules of oxygen. Never being released, the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood is lowered by up to 15%. Less than normal levels of energy providing oxygen reach your brain and other tissues, physical activity becomes more difficult.
Nicotine reaches the brain in around 10 seconds after having inhaled your first cigarette smoke. Absorbed into the blood and hitting the brain, the central nervous system is affected resulting in an increase in heart beats which in turn increases your hearts requirement for oxygen.
Smoke promotes your skin’s blood vessels constricting, giving the appearance of more wrinkles. Smoking also has the affect of drying out skin. What you may end up with after many years addicted to smoking is a pale weak complexion, grey skin that is wrinkled as well as heavy lines around the mouth and eyes.
With all this horrible information above saying how a smokers situation really is why not start and persevere with a quit smoking program. Contrary to popular belief health improvements happen quicker than you may think! You’ll save a whole heap of cash, food will taste better and you’ll feel and look healthier.
Stop smoking help is readily available today, whether it be on the highstreet or at home with friends or on the internet. Stick with a quit smoking program and you’ll benefit hugely in way less time than you think!

Life Insurance Rocketing Up for Smokers
Life Insurance Rocketing Up for Smokers
Smokers may be paying as much as £2,000 more in life insurance premiums than non-smokers, according to price comparison website moneysupermarket.com. Following on from last yearâs public smoking ban this is another area in which smokers are being specifically targeted. Premiums for non-smokers have slowly fallen in the last few years whereas those for smokers have risen sharply, some estimates claim that smoking policy holders are paying up to 100% more than their non-smoking counterparts.
The same is true of critical illness cover, which pays out a lump sum in the event of the policy-holder contracting a serious illness or injury. Smokers are seen as much more of a risk to insurers as the number of medical conditions that they could develop is far greater than that of a non-smoker.
According to Michael Challiner, editor of Express Life Insurance, this dramatic disparity is due to the increased competition between lenders brought about by the advent of the Internet: âIt is now so easy to reach a decision that a âprice warâ has developed and some very competitive quotations are available. This competition has however had an inevitable effect in that insurance companies have had to tighten up their procedures or risk losing money on the narrower margins. So they have hit the obvious target â smokers.â
Moneysupermarket.com have estimated that a thirty five year old male smoker could save 44% on his premiums if he quit the habit, paying only £9.91 per month over a twenty five year period as opposed to the £17.68 he would currently be paying.
However, Louise Cuming, a spokesperson for the website, has warned that the financial benefits of giving up smoking could be some time coming. Because of the highly addictive nature of cigarettes telling your insurer that you havenât had a fag for a couple of days will not be convincing enough for them to lower your premiums. Most insurers require their clients to prove that they have been a non-smoker for a whole year before agreeing to a reduction in premiums. When this reduction comes, however, it could be as much as 60%.
Combined with ever-escalating cigarette prices this news could be the incentive that many smokers need to quit the habit. There are also more policies springing up which encourage and reward positive lifestyle changes. PruProtect is the first to link the cost of premiums to advances in the holderâs health. Speaking on last monthâs National No Smoking Day, Sammy Rubin, CEO, PruProtect, said: âNational No Smoking Day is a time when smokers will be thinking about the true cost of their habit, financially and physically. At PruProtect we support both, and offer those wanting to quit not only a financial incentive by saving money on premiums, but encourage people to lead a healthier life style through our Vitality points scheme. To help those finding it tough to quit, we also offer heavily discounted entry to Alan Carr’s Easy Way smoking cessation courses.â
