Some companies specialize in smoker life insurance, as you can see by clicking any of the links in the table above. These companies are the lowest cost companies because they welcome smokers, and they have spent more resources on quantifying the underwriting risks of smoking.

Still, smoker life insurance premiums are more expensive because of the increased risk of cancer and heart disease. Female smokers run a 50% greater risk of heart disease than male smokers. A woman's risk of osteoporosis is also increased by tobacco use. According to the Sun Mountain Women's Health Alliance, smokers are five times more likely to develop wrinkles, and are at a higher risk of premature gray hair.

The good news is that smokers can reverse the damage of longtime smoking by quitting. Even at 65, a female smoker can expect to live three to four years longer by quitting, according to a recent study by Duke University and the American Cancer Society.
