Standard Non-Smoker Rates for Smokers
Currently all individual permanent products plus Survivorship Universal Life 2002 have a feature whereby preferred and standard cigarette smokers qualify for standard non-smoker rates for the first three policy years. This feature does not apply to term plans, Venture Survivorship Variable Universal Life, or PWL95 in New Jersey.
