Another actor who portrayed the rugged Marlboro Man in cigarette adverts has died a smoking-related death.
Eric Lawson who played the iconic cigarette-puffing cowboy during the late 1970s passed away aged 72 from respiratory failure earlier this month.
Lawson appears to be the fifth actor or model who pitched Marlboro-branded cigarettes to have died of some form of lung disease.
Others include the 1950s Marlboro Man, David Millar, who died of emphysema in 1987, and David McLean, who died of lung cancer in 1995.
Another who pushed the brand, Wayne McLaren, died before his 52nd birthday in 1992 and Dick Hammer, who was better known for his role as Captain Hammer in the TV show Emergency! passed away from lung cancer in 1999, aged 69

Oh wait...
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

A different kind of Marlborough man seems to be doing just fine.
