Men who do not smoke can often secure more favorable life insurance terms with AIG. AIG's policies differentiate between smokers and non‑smokers, offering lower premiums and higher benefit caps for those who maintain a smoke‑free lifestyle. The insurer provides term and whole life options, each with its own underwriting criteria and payment structure.

Understanding AIG's Non‑Smoker Classification
AIG categorizes applicants as "non‑smoker" if they have not smoked any tobacco product in the past 12 months. Applicants who have quit longer than 12 months are typically considered non‑smokers, but each case is reviewed individually. The classification influences both premium amount and the maximum coverage limit available.
Coverage Options for Men
Term Life Insurance
Term policies offer coverage for a set period—commonly 10, 20, or 30 years. Premiums remain level for the term, making them predictable. AIG's term plans for non‑smokers can include benefit amounts up to $2 million, depending on age and health status. Term policies are ideal for temporary financial protection, such as mortgage coverage or education funding.
Whole Life Insurance
Whole life policies provide lifelong coverage and a cash‑value component that grows at a guaranteed rate. Non‑smokers receive a higher cash‑value growth rate and lower policy fees. Whole life can serve as a legacy tool or a retirement supplement, but premiums are higher than term.
Key Factors Affecting Premiums
- Age at application: Younger applicants receive lower rates.
- Health history: Chronic conditions or recent surgeries can increase premiums.
- Coverage amount: Higher benefits raise the cost.
- Term length: Longer terms result in higher premiums.
How to Compare AIG Rates
To gauge whether AIG offers the best value, gather quotes from at least three insurers that offer life insurance to non‑smokers. Use online calculators or work with a licensed agent to input consistent variables—age, health status, coverage amount, and term length. Compare the annual premium, benefit amount, and any riders (such as accelerated death benefit or disability waiver).
Additional Resources
AIG publishes a detailed rate table for men who are non‑smokers on its website, but the table is often embedded in a PDF that requires a click. Contact AIG's customer service or a local broker for a printable version. Additionally, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) offers a public database where you can verify AIG's rating and consumer complaint history.
