Is tobacco a drug? Nicotine is a drug, and nicotine was purposely manipulated to enhance the addictive nature of cigarettes. The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) tried for years to build a case proving the Tobacco industry was manipulating the levels of nicotine in various brands to “Keep Them Coming Back” but couldn’t prove it until a Paralegal working for Brown an Williamson provided documentation supporting the allegations. With this new found proof and advent of more “Whistle Blowers” coming forward with new and more supporting evidence, the FDA now pursued the contention that cigarettes were in fact a delivery device for nicotine, a controlled substance Dr. David Kessler, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, was relentless in his pursuit of the Tobacco industry. His name appears in almost all of the research material of the time.
