"As a man do you find, doesn't every boy smoke to cry?"
That one's easy. I guess I only saw it so quickly because I'm a male. This is a reference to the so-called 'Marlboro Man', tough-guy image that many men are forced to live up to because our society refuses to let guys cry and express their emotions. He's crying through the cigarettes because that is the only way he was allowed to cry.
Notice how the cigarettes is a phallic symbol, but yet its slenderness is often associated with feminine brands. There's a bit of paradoxical softness associated with the tough guy stick.
