Are beagles used in tobacco tests?

Yes, beagles have been used in tobacco testing, particularly in research related to the effects of tobacco smoke and nicotine. Their physiological responses and genetic similarities to humans make them suitable for studying the health impacts of tobacco products. However, the use of animals in testing has raised ethical concerns, leading to increased scrutiny and calls for alternative methods. Many organizations are working towards reducing or replacing animal testing in favor of more humane approaches.
