"Joseph F. Cullman III, the Philip Morris executive who became the cigarette industry's chief defender against the anti-tobacco movement for decades, died Friday at a hospital in Manhattan. He was 92. "
Yeah, but what did he die from?

"He smoked for many years but eventually quit." Probably because it got too damned expensive!

Tobacco Magnate Dies At 92 Just think - Had he never smoked he might have lived to 92.5.
To: NYFriend
Well someone's got to say it: Heaven has made the "call for Philip Morris!"
To: NYFriend
Yeah, but what did he die from? Jimm Fixx and that Powerbar executive were joggers who died in their early 50s. Both died from massive heart attacks.
To: NYFriend
No matter what he died of, I'm sure it was smoking-related.
To: NYFriend
Yeah, but what did he die from? Does it matter? The guy lived into his 90s even though he was a former smoker. He outlived a lot of the healthnuts, that's for sure.

Brian Maxwell is the name of the Powerbar exec who died at age 51.

You wonder why they never write such derogatory obits when, say, an abortionist dies. Someone like that who was more directly responsible for more deaths is weirdly treated as a hero.

He was 92. Ah, genetics. The number one thing you can do to ensure a long life is to choose your parents wisely.

I should have been clear - I was talking about the abortionist.

Probably from breathing that big city air, unfiltered through tobacco,for all those years after he kicked the habit.

Jim Fixx died in his mid-forties. Until he started jogging, he was massively overweight, and his family medical history was one of massive heart attacks by age 35. More than likely, Jim Fixx added 10 to 15 years to his life by exercising and losing weight.
