Please Ban Cigarette Tests on Animals!
Dear Members of the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee,
I was horrified to learn that mice and rats are forced to breathe cigarette smoke for hours a day for years on end in cruel tests that are not required by law and for which alternative methods exist. I strongly urge the FDA to ban cigarette tests on animals and require that tobacco companies switch to more effective and humane alternatives.
Thank you for your consideration of this important animal issue.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
