Actor Steve McQueen died of lung cancer at age 50 and was a smoker, but his

cancer type was mesothelioma, normally associated with asbestos exposure, not

smoking. Whether he ever smoked Kents with micronite asbestos filters when they

were marketed in the 1950's is not clear.

"Sammy Davis, Jr. smoked two packs of cigarettes a day, although this fact was

omitted from People magazine's cover story when he died of throat cancer in 1990.

Tobacco advertising is important to Time Warner, Inc., publisher of Time, Life,

People, and Fortune. And if people who smoke have less time on earth to enjoy life -

well that's their problem, because by accepting tobacco ads, Time makes a Fortune."

From Kids Say Don't Smoke, Andrew Tobias
