This paper presents considerably detailed death rates according to smoking habits and health status, based on the American Cancer Society Cancer Prevention Study I, which constitutes the largest body of data currently available for the study of smoking habits. This study involved over one million men and women, selected largely from the middle class, traced from July 1, 1960 through June 30, 1972. The overall mortality of the subjects in this study was found to resemble that of persons covered by group life insurance during 1970-74. At ages 65 and older the experience was similar to that of contemporaneous ultimate mortality among persons insured under ordinary policies. The data on death rates according to smoking habits and health status provide valuable guidance for pricing smoker/nonsmoker policies. They also provide better measures of intrinsic sex differentials than have hitherto been available.
