SUBJECT: How you feel as false scientists?

 
Madam Margaret Snyder ;

 
Let me  say You that everything about  smoking harms and harts is very well known.
There is here  today no one question without answer - as You know too.
There is no one unknown fact today - but you  do  so-called "experiments" .
All your experiments on poor animals  here ,are so unnecessary  because  You have people smokers, You can make prospective study on humans smokers - that would be useful, instead these  stupid things  what you do :  cruel animals who never can be smoker and who have different: metabolisms , morphology, physiology , genoms  etc, and all these  dollars spending- for your salaries too,  is unnecessary  and  nonsense  too, and Your explanation here is  very nonsense too.
And  what  you do to these poor animals IS  really crime , madam Snyder , I am very sorry, but Yor wrote very insufficient,poor explanation -because really reason for  experiments on  animals as smokers , here doesn`t egzist -  if I want be sincere, there is Your nonsense explanation here below, and  You, I am sure have very  high salary for  all these nonsenses  what You  and Your  coworkers do  and what You  here below wrote.
It could be more useful if You  work something else- for example You  and Your coworkers , you all can make  very good cakes for your children at home, honored madame.
And you all , who work  in this ,are not scietists, but  greed , pitiless criminals - and you all know this fact- but you just need  reason for use  big money of smoking industry and  that is whatfor you do these  experiments .
Excuse me that is fact- and You and your coworkers( if  it is  everything ok with your  personal IQ )  very well know this fact.
How you feel as false scientists ? Are You ashamed  when You are alone in front of the mirror ? Can You say the truth to Yourself .
We know its. You know its too.
 
Note: English is not my mother language .

Dear Ms. Petitjean:
Thank you for your letter to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).  I am responding to your concerns regarding the funding of research on the effects of nicotine in nonhuman animals. 
As the Nation's principal health research agency, the NIH must continue to support quality research that provides new information on the consequences of and treatments for a variety of harmful addictive behaviors, including the use of tobacco.  NIH supports research on the biologic effects of nicotine with an expectation of the development of better ways of helping people eliminate or reduce their dependence on tobacco- and to achieve further progress in reducing the heavy burden of diseases linked to smoking.
Millions of dollars are spent by voluntary health organizations and federal agencies on both smoking prevention and cessation campaigns.  A federal mandate exists for the labeling of cigarettes.  Many people have given up the habit; yet it remains a major health concern in the Western world.
It is estimated between 10 and 17 percent of pregnant women still smoke.  We must look for ways to help those who cannot help themselves, including the thousands of unborn children that suffer from the adverse effects of maternal smoking.  A woman’s risk of having a low-birth weight or a premature baby is significantly increased by smoking.  In addition to health problems as a newborn, these babies face increased risks of serious chronic lifelong disabilities (such as cerebral palsy, mental retardation and learning problems).  Maternal smoking has been estimated to cause 10 percent of infant and fetal mortality, including an increased incidence in sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Scientists care about animals and only use them when no other methods are available to assess biological responses.  They operate on the basic premise that the use of living animals in properly designed and humanely conducted studies is both ethical and appropriate.  Moreover, the current studies on nicotine are expected to provide new insights into the effects of chronic exposure to these substances.  The medical community still needs answers to many questions in order to develop effective methods for preventing or modifying the illnesses resulting from smoking both for smokers and non-smokers.
In accord with Federal law, all of the projects submitted to the NIH for funding were evaluated by two panels.  The first panel or scientific review group, consisting of 16-20 non-Federal scientists chosen for their expertise in particular scientific areas, judged these studies to be scientifically meritorious.  The outcomes of these reviews were brought to a second panel or National
Advisory Council composed of 12-18 scientists, health care practitioners, and lay persons concerned with public health.  This group considered the studies to be relevant and important to the missions of several NIH awarding components.  We are confident that this rigorous review process ensures that the NIH supports only meritorious research projects and minimizes any unnecessary duplication of research activities.
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your concerns.
Sincerely,
Margaret Snyder, Ph.D.
