Occasional Cigar Smokers Need Not Pay More for Life Insurance

PR Web

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 03, 2014

YourLifeSolution.com, a service which allows Internet users to compare and view their own life insurance quotes online, is today publishing a listing of what life insurance carriers will allow occasional cigar smokers non-smoker life insurance rates. The stated purpose for doing this is to show consumers just how equitable the pricing for coverage is in that carriers generally waive draconian underwriting guidelines when reasonable logic shows they should. "The typical consumer is under the perverse notion that life insurance carriers want to find any excuse to charge a higher rate than a consumer would normally get. This, in my experience, becomes less true by the year. If anything carriers aggressively look for logical reasons to be more competitive and occasional cigar smokers are one example where they have definitely delivered", said Eric Smith, the founder and licensed independent life insurance agent behind YourLifeSolution.com.

Carriers that Provide Celebratory/Occasional Use Cigar Users Non-Smoker Rates:

ING
SBLI
Prudential
Genworth
Lincoln
MetLife
Protective
Banner
American General
Mutual of Omaha

Consumers interested in viewing their own instant life insurance rates are encouraged to visit YourLifeSolution.com, or call Eric Smith at 888.374.2764.
