whatever happened to the marlboro man?






does anyone know if he still exists? the only one I know of these days resides over on ree drummond's excellent blog "pioneer woman" and as far as I can tell he's never smoked in his life.

Wow, that is a lot for a pack of cigarettes, I am so glad I quit smoking, been free for 12 years! I believe the Marlboro Man passed away from Cancer, Great picture though.

I also heard that he died of either cancer or aids. It could be a rumor though.

Yes, it's true. He did die of (lung) cancer a while back. I imagine you can Google it. I really hate cigarettes/cigarette smoke.

I remember the dancing packs of Pall-Mall on (what show was it?) TV when I was a kid.

Same as the others, I heard he died of cancer. If he were still alive and smoking he would be broke soon with prices like that.

Yes, I too have heard that he died of lung cancer.

I started smoking at 16. It was "the thing to do". But I quite when pregnant for the first time, 50 years ago, because it made me feel sick.

Wow! 6.99 for a pack of cigarettes? I am thinking that the Marlboro Man can no longer afford this habit.

Sad, but not unexpected, that the Marlboro men died of lung cancer. I always love the ads for the horses and scenery, but the cigarettes never made much sense to me.
