Animals still used in USA for tobacco testing

[LPC]

I thought that the use of animals for testing the health risks of tobacco was history. Sadly, I discovered today that whilst the UK, Germany and Belgium have banned all tobacco testing on animals, the FDA in the USA is recommending that some allegedly less dangerous tobacco products should be tested on animals. Canada, apparently, has found alternative methods to test these new products, without using animals. So why can't the FDA?

Giving up smoking, or never starting in the first place, is the best thing you can do to enhance good health and longevity.
