Quit smoking recently?

[yungatart]

Our insurance broker was around recently, reviewing our insurance with us and generally ensuring we have the best deals around.

He rang me today to inform me that next March (my 12 month anniversary of quitting smoking) my policy premiums drop by 55%, if I continue to be a non smoker!
Now, to me 55% is a huge reduction, and I would certainly prefer to have that money in my pocket, rather than in anyone else's.

So if you have recently quit smoking (12 months minimum to qualify), get in touch with your insurance company and see what financial benefits there are for you.

You're welcome!

You're welcome!

Yet another reason I love you to bits!

Damn! I don't smoke...y'reckon it'd work if I smoked for a day then gave up..? Just askin'...

[mashman]

congrats on giving up... myself and the wife split the costs. I do the smoking and she gets the cash back when I pop my clogs... she's an impatient woman... Aye, we pay a huge difference in premiums alright...

this was one of the reasons that I'm about to get to the 24 month milestone of being smokefree. I felt so proud to ring up the insurance and say I"m a non-smoker.....so much more money in my gas tank.

In fact...my not smoking bought my bike.

I used to work as an adviser in teh health and life insdurance field and it was a big selling point to encourage people to quit! We'd also work out how much money they were wasting on smoking and it was a real eye-opener for them!

Anyone who says they can't afford to save $50pw and yet smokes has a very simple answer.

My parents have/had since they were 14 or so,dad still does at 69(70 next July),mum quit about 10 yrs ago,my brother did for years,quit about 5yrs ago.

So I was only intelligent one who didn't start(had odd try as you do)and ended up with bloody cancer in the lung,and guess what if you had to have part of a lung removed you'd not start.

And watching my dads father with emphasema(sp)and die,it scares the shit out of me seeing dads condition worsen each year,his idea was why give up say 5-10 yrs ago,damage done,but had he done so he would be way healthier today,even 20 yrs ago when he was my age he was able to ride his horses,had he stopped then he would be way better in the lungs.

Yup, yet to be shown any tangible benefit to smoking.

And when a 20 pack costs more than a gallon of petrol it's a no-brainer.

...thats right, never smoke around petrol...its cost to much to see it go up in flames.

My brother has stopped smoking. It looks like his savings are going towards pies, donuts and thickshakes.

I owe you one BIG Thank You.

I have been in contact with my insurance company and they have said I will be entitled to "significant" savings as I have been smoke-free one year and one month.

So which is more dangerous to the health - ciggies or bikes ?
