In the beginning, sponsorship was provided to actors and models with a strong macho image, but actors who were receiving advertisements at the time privately criticized Philip Morris and said, "It is a company that forces women to smoke cigarettes in exchange for a small amount of money." As a scandal broke out in the media, Marlboro's brand value fell again.[2] In American society and among smokers, the image of Marlboro was second-rate or B-class, and in extreme cases, there were even extreme statements that men who smoked Marlboro were no different from gays
This advertisement appealed to the intellectual class and was mentioned in several editorials and interviews, and although sales increased slightly thereafter, influential cigarette companies, led by Camel , which was number one in the industry at the time , tried to prevent the increase in Marlboro's sales rate by implementing a check strategy, saying, " Marlboro is a cigarette that only children and girls smoke ." As this worked, total sales actually decreased, and Camel and Lucky Strike achieved great success by featuring doctors in advertisements and marketing that their cigarettes were most popular among doctors
