    Superman II: Lois Lane lights up. In fifty years of comic book appearnces, Lois Lane never
      smoked. For a reported payment of $42,000, the company purchases 22 exposures of the Marlboro logo in the movie  featuring the children's comic book hero, and Lois Lane, strong role model for teenage girls, gets a Marlboro pack on her desk and begins chain smoking Marlboro Lights. At one point in the film, a character is tossed into a van with a large  Marlboro sign on its side, and in the climactic scene the superhero battles amid a maze of Marlboro billboards before   zooming off in triumph, leaving in his wake a solitary taxi with a Marloro sign on top. The New York State Journal of  Medicine published an article titled "Superman and the Marlboro Woman: The Lungs of Lois Lane." Thoughout the 80s,   "Superman II" is frequently re-run on TV in prime time
