In this special episode of the Whistleblower of the Week podcast, host Jane Turner continues her talk with legendary Big Tobacco whistleblower Dr. Jeffrey Wigand.
Dr. Wigand is the former Vice President of Research and Development at Brown and Williamson, a major tobacco company. He blew the whistle on Brown and Williamson’s deliberate misconduct, strategic cigarette engineering, and research manipulation that aimed to get, and keep, cigarette users addicted while concealing the truth of the product. His whistleblower story was portrayed in the 1999 movie The Insider.
In Part II of their conversation, Jane and Dr. Wigand discuss his whistleblower journey exposing the harmful practices of Big Tobacco, the retaliation he faced for doing so, and his life since his whistleblowing.
