[Remember the Marlboro Man?] Riding horseback through wild nature with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, he was the symbol of virility and raw vigorous health. But on closer look the Marlboro Man was uneducated, smelly, lonely, and destined to die young from lung cancer. (Gail Sheehy, Understanding Men's Passages, p. 69) 7 February 2013
