From The New York Times, June 17, 1994:

Andrew W. Tisch, chairman and chief executive of the Lorillard Tobacco
Company, in testimony before a congressional subcommittee on Tobacco,
answering question from the chairman, Representative Henry Waxman,
Democrat of California, in April of this year:

MR. WAXMAN:  In a deposition last year, you were asked whether
cigarette smoking causes cancer.  Your answer was "I don't believe
so."  Do you stand by that answer today?

MR. TISCH:  I do, sir.

MR. WAXMAN:  Do you understand how isolated you are in the belief from
the entire scientific community?

MR. TISCH:  I do, sir.

MR. WAXMAN:  You're the head of a manufacturer of a product that's
been accused by the overwhelming scientific community to cause cancer.
You don't know?  Do you have an interest in finding out?

MR. TISCH:  I do, sir, yes.

MR. WAXMAN:  And what have you done to pursue that interest?

MR. TISCH:  We have looked at the data and the data that we have been
able to see has all been statistical data that has not convinced me
that smoking causes death.
