Under oath. April 14, 1994, House Energy and Commerce subcommittee, Henry Waxman in the chair. Seven tobacco bosses in a row. Ron Wyden asked a yes-or-no: do you believe nicotine is not addictive. They all said it is not. The Surgeon General had already called nicotine addictive in 1988. Their own labs had the paper trail. The oath did not make the answer true.
