Dr. Victor J. DeNoble will share both his expertise as a
researcher of nicotine addiction and an insider’s view of
the industry. DeNoble was employed by the Philip Morris
Corporation to study and develop a safer nicotine substitute. His
highly-controversial findings led him to become the first whistle
blower to testify before the U.S. Congress and the key witness in
the federal government’s investigation into the tobacco
industry’s research practices. DeNoble’s program will
offer a unique perspective that is valuable to all on tobacco,
the addiction and the industry.
