Welcome to Marlboro country
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlboro_Man#Controversy:
Three men who appeared in Marlboro advertisements – Wayne McLaren,
David McLean (actor) died of lung cancer, and Dick Hammer died of prostate
cancer, thus earning Marlboro cigarettes, specifically Marlboro Reds, the
nickname “Cowboy killers”. McLaren testified in favor of anti-smoking
legislation at the age of 51. During the time of McLaren’s anti-smoking
activism, Philip Morris denied that McLaren ever appeared in a Marlboro ad,
a position it later amended to maintaining that while he did appear in ads,
he was not the Marlboro Man. McLaren died before his 52nd birthday in 1992.
