One more animal experiment: force mice to vape and then to announce fake news

One more animal experiment: force mice to vape and then to announce fake news

Mis à jour le 23 March 2018

A recent US study using mice to assess the dangers of e-cigarettes creates a new scientific controversy around animal testing.

After the scandal of diesel engines tested on animals, here again are other guinea pigs that have been subjected to toxic fumes in a very controversial research. Recent experiments conducted in the United States on mice and accrediting the dangers of vaping have quickly raised voices in the scientific community to denounce these scientific untruths; other studies on rodents are in support!

Who's smoking?

The findings of a team from New York University are alarmist: exposed during 12 weeks from very high doses of vapour from e-cigarettes (the equivalent of ten years of nicotine vaping by a human), these mice have presented altered DNA in their lungs, heart and bladder, and a reduction of restorative proteins in the cells of these organs. Results clearly point towards possible carcinogenic risks from electronic cigarettes in humans. "We are without scientific truth, but with manipulation" Reacted Professor Bertrand Dautzenberg, Pulmonologist. According to him, this experiment is not representative of exposure to humans and makes assumptions between mice and humans without even comparing the effect of vaping with that of tobacco smoke.

"This does not prove that vaping causes cancer," said Peter Hajek, an English specialist in tobacco addiction, who said the study was "fake news" ... very toxic. Jacques Le Houzec, pharmacologist and tobacco expert, also recalls an earlier similar study, which totally contradicts this one. Rats exposed for 2 years, 5 days a week and 20 hours to concentrated nicotine aerosols did not develop tumours, just a loss of weight...

This debate points to the buzz sought by certain scientific publications that broadcast alarmist news from targeted studies, deserving of further work before concluding.
For One Voice, this controversy among researchers emphasizes above all that we must finally put an end to animal experimentation. It is high time we stop using the age-old excuse of the advancement of humans and then to torture and kill animals, all to present finding that are in the interest of one industry or another.

The 2022 figures on animal testing have finally come out... and are not reassuring In 2024, mice and rats continue to be subjected to the worst experiments in French laboratories

Je suis bien contente que ces expériences sur les animaux sortent enfin au grand jour et scandalisent les gens, mais quand même un peu étonnée que l'on dénonce ce qui se passe en Allemagne, aux USA mais pas chez nous alors que même les produits d'entretien que nous achetons sont encore testés sur les animaux, que les médicaments sont également testés sur les animaux "c'est la loi en France" pourtant ce n'est pas une garantie pour notre santé puisque beaucoup sont dangereux pour nous.

Bonjour Eliane,
Nous dénonçons aussi les expérimentations ayant lieu en France et militons pour que la législation évolue : https://one-voice.fr/fr/nos-combats/experimentation-animale/experimentes-pourquoi-et-comment.html :-)
Bien cordialement
