If you smoke – you can be potentially paying 70% more than non-smokers on your premium. For your plan.
Figures compiled by our quote engine show that smokers will pay as much as €20,000 more than non-smokers over the lifetime of their premium.
Smoking couples, aged 35, will pay €3,430 more on a mortgage of €140,000 over 25 years
Smokers in their early 40’s pay a huge €9,788 more on the same mortgage over the same period
Smokers in their early 50’s will watch €23,626 more go up in smoke with the same mortgage for just 20 years
The bigger the mortgage, the worse it gets for smokers:
A smoking couple aged 35 with a 30-year mortgage of €250,000 pay €8,384 more
