Getty Images, formerly Corbis, donated this photo and others to Mr. Reynolds’ Foundation for a Tobaccofree Earth (now Tobaccofree Earth), for use in his DVD and live talks.
AFTER: R.J. Reynolds, Jr., in 1962, age 56, terminally ill with emphysema caused by his lifelong smoking habit, here with his oxygen bottle, his nurse standing behind him. Taken during divorce proceedings against his third wife, Muriel Marston Greenough Reynolds, in Darien, Georgia. He remarried Annemarie Schmidt, and died in Switzerland in December, 1964.
R.J.REYNOLDS founded the RJ Reynolds tobacco company in 1875, and began manufacturing Camel cigarettes in 1913. He died in 1918 of cancer of the pancreas after a lifetime of chewing tobacco — ironically, the same product which established his fortune, and earlier, his father’s.
RJ did not marry until age 53, and died at age 67 when his eldest son, RJ Reynolds, Jr., was just 12. As a result, R.J. Jr. would never spend much time working in the tobacco business, nor would any of his siblings or any of their children.

At Badvertising.org artist Bonnie Vierthaler counters the seduction of tobacco ads by doctoring them up to make them honest. By juxtaposing silly, gross and disgusting images on top of tobacco ads, she jolts people into realizing how tobacco ad imagery is concealing the truth, manipulating young people into tobacco addiction. Best of all, at her site you can learn How to BADvertise yourself, using scissors and glue or a computer and mouse. Artist Bonnie Vierthaler’s email is bv@badvertising.org.

Above: Marianne O’Brien, late 1944. When she opened her first letter from Dick Reynolds, out fell several hundred-dollar bills. Dick wrote her to have pictures taken of herself, mail him copies, and not to object, because “the money is better spent helping your career than moldering in some bank.”
