Battling Big Tobacco
Jeffrey Wigand,the highest-ranking executive in the history of the tobacco industry ,blew the whistle on big tobacco.He was adamantly facing what he considered was great personal risk to himself and his family.
Back in 1995,he exposed the lies we'd all been told for decades about cigarettes.In an interview with 60 minutes Correspondent Mike Wallace 10 years ago,Wigand became the first major tobacco insider to reveal that the cigarette companies were consciously trying to get us hooked on nicotine.
"We're in a nicotine delivery business," he said."It's a delivery device for nicotine…?You'll get your fix."
Since then,he’s literally changed the air we breathe.What Wigand told Wallace eventually inspired a movie,"The Insider," with Russell Crowe playing the lead role.Wigand told 60 Minutes that his employer,Brown & Williamson,manipulated that nicotine fix -- not by adding nicotine,but by enhancing its effect by putting dangerous additives like ammonia into cigarettes.
"There's extensive use of this technology which is called ammonia chemistry that allows for nicotine to be more rapidly absorbed in the lungs,and therefore,affect the brain and central nervous system," said Wigand.
