Phillip Morris

NPR's Joe Neel reports that the Food and Drug Administration today released statements from three former Phillip Morris employees. The FDA says the statement support the agency's contention that tobacco companies purposefully manipulate the nicotine in cigarettes to keep smokers addicted. The FDA has proposed widening its jurisdiction over tobacco products to try to keep young people from smoking.
