Steve McQueen Unaware Cigarettes Aren't Cool


Since I'm hard at work on the sequel to The Ranger, I don't have a lot of extra time to blog. As I continue to write, please enjoy this collection of ads Steve McQueen did for Viceroy cigarettes during his Wanted: Dead or Alive days. I still don't know what a thinking man's filter means but McQueen still looks cool shilling for the man.
Comments:
Ace, at the time having a filter on your ciggie was supposed to be a safer alternative, there fore the thinking man's choice. Too bad about Honey Boy, all the greats are passing away. All the best Steve Shadow Schwartz
 
Hi Ace, at the time having a filter meant a safer smoke, hence "Thinking man's filter". Too bad about Honey Boy, all the greats are passing on. All the Best, Steve Schwartz
 
Yeah, steve's explanation makes some sense.

I'm an ex-smoker who hopes never to light up again, but I gotta say, Steve's coolness actually makes me want to put on a cowboy hat, go out and buy a pack of lights and just enjoy myself. I won't, though...
