Looking for a legal case (Smoking)

[Revenant_Threshold]

I seem to recall some kind of legal case where several (seven or eight, maybe?) people who represented the tobacco industry were asked whether or not smoking was dangerous - they all replied in some form of “I do not believe that smoking is harmful”.

Sorry to be so vague, but that’s honestly all I can remember. Anyone know what i’m talking about?

I think you’re thinking of the 1994 congressional hearings where[

the CEOs of the seven largest U.S. tobacco companies denied, under oath, that cigarettes cause disease and that nicotine is addictive.

That’s the one. Thanks for finding it despite my vague (and far from correct) memories of it.
