Five, four, three, two--

1:09:34
[ Wallace ]
You heard Mr. Sandefur say...

1:09:36
before Congress that he believed
nicotine was not addictive.

1:09:40
I believe Mr. Sandefur
perjured himself...

1:09:43
because I watched those
testimonies very carefully.

1:09:45
[Wallace] All of us did. I mean,
there was this whole line of people,

1:09:49
whole line of C.E.O.'s
up there swearing.

1:09:52
Part of the reason
I'm here is that l felt...

1:09:56
that their representation
clearly misstated--

1:09:58
at least within Brown &Williamson's
representation--

1:10:00
clearly misstated what is common
language within the company.

1:10:04
We are in
the nicotine delivery business.

1:10:07
And that's what
cigarettes are for.

1:10:09
Delivery device for nicotine.
1:10:11
A delivery device
for nicotine.

1:10:13
Put it in your mouth, light it up
and you're going to get your fix.

1:10:16
- You're gonna get your fix.
- You're saying that
Brown &Williamson...

1:10:20
manipulates and adjusts
the nicotine fix...

1:10:23
not by artificially
adding nicotine,

1:10:25
but by enhancing
the effect of nicotine...

1:10:28
through the use
of chemical elements such as ammonia.

1:10:32
The process is known
as impact boosting.

1:10:35
While not spiking nicotine,
1:10:38
they clearly manipulate it.
1:10:40
There is extensive use of this
technology, known as ammonia chemistry.

1:10:45
It allows for the nicotine to be
more rapidly absorbed in the lung...

1:10:48
and therefore affect the brain
and central nervous system.

1:10:55
The straw that broke the camel's
back for me and really put me
in trouble with Sandefur...

1:10:58
was a compound called coumarin.
