I know a good many people personally who have died directly due to them being smokers or former smoker. Most smoked 20 years or more. Some had quit for many years but their fate was already set for it to do them much good. Men who could have lived on into their 80s and 90s+ but died in their early 70s. Women with lung Cancer die in their early 70s too. The agony they went though before they died was terrible too. One woman I knew had been a long time smoker. She got lung cancer and was dead within a year(early 70s). Not all smokers die early but if you have the right genes then smoking makes it much more likely you will face a early death. None of these people I knew were ready to go. They loved life. Doctors have added years of life to many smokers. A good many of them would have died in their 30s to 50s if it weren't for pills and surgery

"An actor who portrayed the rugged Marlboro man in cigarette adverts during the late 1970s has died from smoking-related respiratory failure.

Eric Lawson passed away aged 72 at his home in San Luis Obispo, California, on January 10, according to his wife, Susan Lawson.

He is believed to have suffered respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). ......"

Lawson, who had smoked since the age of 14, played the smoking cowboy in the Marlboro adverts from 1978 to 1981.

Were you hoping to find nude photos of the Marlboro man here? As a former smoker, I know there is probably nothing worse you can do for yourself than picking up a pack of cigarettes. There is literally no benefit it's all negative.

Is it possible that he died because he was 72.

The average lifespan of the American male is 78. Probably low because many of them smoked. Many non smokers live healthy lives in their 90s. I personally knew a lady who was over 100. I know 2 men over 90 who think I am a young man haha. 72 is not that old seeing how the retirement age is 65. But if you are 20 then 72 is ancient haha
Beside that, the article states the cause of death was COPD. Not Natural causes.
Smoking over a long period of time will damage your Lungs. Narrow all your Arteries from your Brain down to your Legs. Very important info for a Sex site where men want to get the most out of our Penises. Smoking over a long period of time can cause Impotence. One of the leading causes of Impotence as it cuts back on the blood flow to the penis by narrowing the arteries leading to the Penis
He didn't die suddenly. He probably suffered many years with COPD

I need to start smoking and drink more.

I have no intention of being a nonagenarian. I'm not particularly planning on hitting 30.
Need to step my game up.

Your best bet then would be to stick a gun to your head at 29 and blow your brains out. Much quicker and less painful than a slow, agonizing death by a smoking related illness. The Marlboro man probably just slowly suffocated. Just put a plastic bag over your head and tie it shut and see how long you can take it. Just trying to be helpful. Have a nice day!
Even China is trying to get their people to stop smoking. They can't afford the health care cost either
