Through earlier litigation and the efforts of other whistle blowers, 30 years of internal documents have been exhumed that appear more damning than any single witness. They confirm, for instance, that, as one Philip Morris executive put it in the early 1970s, "smoke is beyond question the most optimized vehicle of nicotine and the cigarette the most optimized dispenser of smoke," and that as early as 1963 B&W executives knew nicotine was addictive.
