The theme from "The Magnificent Seven" is a great piece of music which could receive more airplay if not for its association with smoking. Since tobacco advertising was banned nearly 40 years ago, it's only us "oldies" (I'm 66) who make the association with a certain brand of cigarettes when we hear this music. I believe it would not promote smoking to younger people, who would not make the same association.
