For your info, there are three life insurance basic classifications according to the premiums that you are going to give. These are the standard, the preferred, and the preferred plus. The kind of classification that you will be part of depends on the kind of lifestyle and the health that you have depending on your past and present health and medical records. If you haven’t smoked for the past five years and better if you have never smoked before, you will be classified in a lower premium fee. This is because you have a lesser chance of early death and also for having excellent health condition.

If you haven’t smoked cigarette for the past three years then you can be classified as a normally healthy individual, which will mean that you will have a standard classification for the premiums of your insurance policy.
