Friday, April 18 2008

DeNoble has a doctorate in Experimental Psychology. In the 1980s, he was recruited to develop a safer cigarette for the Philip Morris tobacco company.

In 1994, after a congressional release from his confidentiality agreement with Philip Morris, he became the first whistle-blower to begin tearing down the wall of secrecy built by the tobacco industry.
DeNoble has been featured on several television shows including “60 Minutes” and “Dateline NBC.”
