48/365 - When Toys Were Men
There was a time when toy army men were real men, and kids were smart enough that a toy army man smoking a cigarette wouldn't send them down the road to vice and perdition.
When I was a kid, we nicknamed this guy "Cancerman," or "Cance" for short, years before anyone had ever heard of The X-Files.
Note that in addition to surviving his continuous nicotine infusion, Cance once tangled with a lawn mower and lived to fight, or light, another day.

P.S.: check out the Army Men Home Page. It is pure plastic awesomeness!
Cance was apparently a product of the Auburn Rubber Company.
