The complaint said Fred Laramie received more free samples over the course of months, if not years, and became a nicotine addict particularly drawn to Marlboro cigarettes. Attorneys for Philip Morris USA said in legal filings that the company does not direct, and has never directed, its cigarette advertising or marketing to persons under the legal age for purchasing cigarettes in the United States. The company did acknowledge in the court papers that it has participated in marketing activities, including sampling of its cigarettes to existing smokers of legal age for purchasing cigarettes in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Fred Laramie served for 21 years in the Massachusetts Army National Guard and also worked for the MBTA, first as a bus driver and later as an inspector, according to his obituary posted to the Solimine Funeral Homes website
