	LATEST LATEST LEGAL NEWS ARCHIVE		LATEST NEWS & EVENTS Ceasing to smoke 'can lead to big insurance savings' Consumers who give up smoking can make significant savings on their insurance costs, it has been noted. Figures produced by moneysupermarket.com showed that Britons who kick the habit could save on average £6,044 on combined critical illness cover over the duration of a policy term. In addition, they could reduce their expenditure on life insurance by as much as £1,685, it stated. To be classified as a non-smoker, individuals have to have given up smoking for a full year, Emma Walker, head of protection at moneysupermarket.com, pointed out. She added: "It is crucial smokers seriously consider both the medical and financial benefits of quitting, instead of letting their hard-earned cash go up in smoke." With considerable savings to be made, hopefully more people will find the willpower needed to permanently give up the habit, Ms Walker went on to state. Smoking is associated with a range of health complaints, including various cancers and an increased risk of strokes.
