I just happened onto this video, it's great! Like an earlier writer said, it's very Sergio Leone with some Eastwood mixed in; a wide-screen spaghetti PSA. Funny thing is, my grandad was a Marlboro Man, he was one of the guys in the print ads. He'd dig this if he was still around, bless him.
He didn't last long after his contract ran out. Another few years or so. I used to visit him up in northern California on his little ranch. He was alone by then, watching westerns on tv, old Gunsmoke reruns, movies, always with cartons of Marlboro's stacked up by his easy chair. But he was a cheerful man. He turned me on to Merle Haggard and Gram Parsons and the Rolling Stones. I'd smoke with him back then, but usually choke like the dude in this video. Hey, thanks for asking "dosoflosrobles."
Sorry to hear. You got some good &^%* from that geezer. Maybe he wasn't a geezer, but, being a smoker, I know he was a wheezer. (HaHa.) Keep the faith. And when possible, burn rubber.
They should show this in every junior high in the country. Great!

Great! "Quit smoking or die trying" could be the next clip.

I like how the actor does the dying scene. It's different cause it not loud, he just goes silent. This is great.

That is really cool, man. I hope your Granddad made it out ok, but I suspect not. Here's to him and a smoke free world!
