““Horrific” experiments on pregnant mice which are forced to breathe in e-cig flavours have been widely condemned by animal rights campaigners. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently awarded biomedical research organisation The Lundquist Institute £1.76m ($2.3m) to research whether vaping while pregnant increases the risk of children having asthma. But the method for testing the pregnant mice – which will be regularly forced into gas tubes for up to two years – has drawn harsh criticism, especially from animal rights group PETA. Dr Andreas Stucki claimed the research money was being “wasted” on ineffective animal tests that will produce findings with limited relevance to humans.”
BILL TARLING — If your read the section from “Research leader Dr Virender Rehan” closely, you’ll notice that he’s not using the research money to “research whether vaping while pregnant increases the risk of children”, but rather that he already has a predetermined conclusion to make the research fit his anti-vaping claims by manipulating his highly funded “research” in order to use his pre-determined findings as he “hopes the findings could change US laws around vaping” [i.e. create more anti-vaping laws]
