Addiction Incorporated

A documentary is set to be released later this month that exposes Big Tobacco's early lies about their cigarettes.

Tobacco companies produce the most deadly product on earth while they maintained a perfect record of defeating those who try to reign them in. Addiction Incorporated, tells the true story of how Victor DeNoble's unexpected discovery of an addictive ingredient in tobacco leads to both more addictive Marlboro cigarettes and Congressional testimony. The public revelation of long held tobacco industry secrets leads journalists, politicians, attorneys and whistle blowers into an unexpected alliance, that achieves the first ever federal regulation of the tobacco industry. DeNoble's unwavering determination to "do some good" leads to a career as an educator that informs kids about the world's only industry where success is measured by how many people you can addict.

Variance Films in partnership with Acappella Pictures will be releasing Addiction Incorporated first in New York on December 14th and later in Los Angeles on January 13th, 2012. With plans to go "nationally" throughout early 2012.
