At AXA, we strive to empower people to live a better life. To encourage smoke-free culture, we sincerely invite smokers to participate in our AXA “Quit Smoking Incentive” Programme (the “Programme”) so as to achieve healthier living.
If smokers successfully submit the application for any new designated health and protection basic plan and its designated supplements (if applicable) at any time as long as the Programme has not ended, they may be invited to enrol in the AXA “Quit Smoking Incentive” Programme. If they successfully quit smoking within a designated period, they will have a chance to receive a reward which equals to the first 2 years’ smoker and non-smoker premium differences! They will be charged a non-smoker premium thereafter.
