Stop Needlessly Testing Tobacco Products On Animals
By Kara ForanTarget: FDA
Goal: Do not test the effects of cigarette smoking on animals.
Tobacco companies test the effects of smoking on animals by forcing them to breathe in cigarette smoke through a mask for up to 6 hours a day, and for months on end. The animals are then killed, so their livers and lungs can be removed and observed by scientists.
Animal testing in tobacco labs is unnecessary because the link between disease and smoking has already been publicly well-documented. Scientists and consumers know that smoking is not healthy, and that using these products can cause a variety of illnesses, including many cancers that may lead to death. Tobacco companies test cigarettes on animals to form misleading results and deny the link between cigarettes and cancer. For example, animals do not always develop the same diseases as humans, creating what a appears to be a minimal tobacco effect in the lab. Testing continues so these companies can attempt to protect their agenda with biased animal experimentation.
Tobacco companies have been known to test their products on animals such as beagles and lab rats. These animals smoke cigarette after cigarette all day, until the smoke has damaged their health sufficiently. They are then dissected to observe the effects smoking has had on their organs.
Testing tobacco products on animals is cruel and unnecessary. Tell the FDA to ban cigarette companies from testing their products on lab animals. No animal should be forced to smoke cigarettes through tubes and masks, only to be killed for research on a health matter that has already been settled.
PETITION LETTER
Dear FDA,
Tobacco companies are unnecessarily testing their products on animals by forcing them to smoke, and then killing them to observe the effects of smoking on their organs.
Cigarette companies use this research to deny the link between cancer and smoking—a link that has already been well established worldwide. Their cruel testing on animals is a last-ditch effort to produce biased results and maintain consumers for tobacco products.
I urge you to ban tobacco companies from practicing needless and inhumane animal testing. No animal should be tied to smoke masks and tubes in order to die for unnecessary and desperate research.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

If there’s a God, I hope he curses despicable humans such as these. Interesting. Animals are tested, so that people can smoke and acquire cancer? Animals have to die so that greed can live? Damn the animal/nature killers to bloody hell.
I totally agree with you my friend.
I also agree.
Hi Barbara,there is a GOD and when our country has done it’s best to remove him from everything why would we expect any better for those friends on 4 legs.He will do to them on their last day as they had done here.Keep the wonderful thought that the only thing that is keeping them from heaven was the treatment of that dog cat monkey bunny and any other creature he made,and away to hell they go!
Please leave the animals alone.Stop this test on them.
It is just so sickening how people think they have some sort of right to use and abuse animals!! Karma is coming
BS!!!! SO SAD!!!! god will get even!
Tobacco experiments on animals is cruel and useless, as we all know nicotime is a toxic substance. To harm innocent and helpless animals is beyond revolting. You make me sick.
Human smokers decide for themselves to smoke, the innocent animals don’t have that choice. Come on already, and stop the insanity.
“The insufferable arrogance of human beings to think that Nature was made solely for their benefit, as if it was conceivable that the sun had been set afire merely to ripen mens apples and head their cabbages.” Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac. STOP THIS SLAUGHTER OH INNOCENT ANIMALS!!!!! Test the idiots who insist on smoking……
These companies plus Lipton and Tetley tea do it. Find me a competitor that sell your product line and doesn’t do animal testing and I’ll buy it
A total discrace there is no justification for this testing at all so stop it you heartless pricks.
Animals don’t smoke,drink or do drugs – except in labratories!
(but there ARE already alternatives, use them!)
Testing on animals is like playing Russian Roulette, you never know the true out come!
Humans are so slow to evolve & to actually have to think of better testing methods must be too hard
I cannot fathom why animals are still being tested on for any reason. We know the effects of probably all chemicals out there and if not, i’m sure that we are not that thick that we couldn’t guess from a similar one. People choose to smoke and if there are side effects, which they know there are, it is their ignorance and lack of will to live healthily and no amount of testing and deaths be it animal or human will stop them. So why should animals be murdered slowly to make no difference? a life is a life no matter how small, all are important and feel pain whether they can tell us or not . This needs to stop if a person did this in their house the would not be allowed to keep animals, so why can companies get away with it. STOP THE CRUELTY NOW!
I agree!
please stop !animals dont`smoke..make experiment on people from jail.on terrorist.crimial!!!! more aesy on animals they dont`feel giltiy.how many of them deed you kill?can you sleep at night?
Why should animals have to be tested on people know what smoking does so why are they continually testing it on animals? They don’t want to smoke and it is barbaric for them to be forced to smoke, in this day and age of computers they should not need to test on animals. IT NEEDS TO STOP NOW.
there’s no need to test smoking on animals, cause its been tested on millions of people that chose to smoke knowing there are big risks involved.
So they’re still doing this, they give the more reason to quit tomorrow.
You can’t compare choking animals with the smoking habits of people, unbelievable useless non-sens killing
It’s cruely and inhumance.
Karma will come…………..
Surely there has been enough research to link organ damage to cigarette smoking – leave the animals alone. Face it, cigarettes do damage to all living things!
This is absolutely repulsive how can you be so corrupted! It is peoples choice if they smoke or not, they know the health risks!!!!! There is no significant reason to treat animals so wrongly! Let them free, they deserve a happy life more than anybody with what billions have gone through over the years!
I know for many years that smoking causes cancer, so please stop the testing. There is enough data gathered. Why must the animals suffer for humans.
all humain or not are a wright.A Fondomental wriight as not to be traired like it is belong to you..(as an object!!!)animals are property of humain .thas why it must be a Abolition.Not a reglementation..or why dont`you use the criminals or terroristes in jell?
They know fine that smoking kills why keep testing them on animals why have they to suffer for humams how can these so called people go home to their familys at the end of the day after the crime they have comitted on these poor defenseless creatures its barbaric, cruel , and very very evil.
dear fda you must be really F dumb…what is there left to reserach?!! you just need jobs,and exploit innocent animals of what every person knows -smoking kills!!! find another excuse!
