There was a scandal in 1994, about Phillip Morris cigarettes. A woman died because of smoking their cigarettes, even though the founder of the cigarette company declared that nicotine was not addictive in any way.

Although they were hoping for a way out of their bad reputation, people just saw it as a desperate way to escape criticism from people about their bad rep.
