The first owner of the Marlboro Company
died of lung cancer.
So did the first "MarlboroMan."
Actually I did know this one. The original Marlboro Man, Wayne Dunofan, had a large ranch here. We attended the same church for years and I still am friends with his son. In his later years, dying of lung cancer he rued his association with tobacco sales and held a press conference warning youngsters not to start smoking.
And yes I suppose those who are always talking out their butt can breathe that way as well.
