Changing in Smoking Status

Premiums for PPS products may be paid on a smoking or non-smoking basis depending on the smoking status of the life insured.

If a smoker quits smoking, the life insured can apply for a non-smoking rate provided that:

• The life assured undergoes a cotinine test at the time of applying for the non-smoking rate,
• After a waiting period of twelve months a further cotinine test is undertaken,
• The life assured may be obliged to undertake a further cotinine test at the time of making a claim.

A policyholder must inform PPS insurance in writing if the life assured starts smoking. PPS is entitled to review the terms of the life policy if the life insured starts smoking!
