| ADDlCTlON lNCORPORATED teIIs the amazing story of Victor DeNobIe, one of the most important and infIuential whistIebIowers of aIl time. ln the 1980s, DeNoble was a research scientist at Philip Morris, where he was tasked with finding a substitute for nicotine that wouId not cause heart attacks. His quest was to find out whether it would be possibIe to create a cigarette that would be safer for smokers... though not necessariIy less addictive. DeNobIe succeeded, but in the process, produced something that had been denied and avoided for years: scientific evidence that nicotine was addictive. After his Iab was shuttered and his research puIIed from pubIication and Iocked in a vault, DeNobIe took his findings pubIic in what was nothing Iess than an act of modern-day heroism, testifying about his research in the infamous 1994 CongressionaI hearings--the same ones that produced the now-famous video of the seven heads of the major tobacco companies decIaring, under oath, that they believed nicotine was not addictive. ln the end, an unprecedented aIIiance of journaIists, poIiticians, attorneys, and whistlebIowers banded together to achieve what was once considered impossible: the first-ever federal reguIation of the tobacco industry. |
