This paper is the continuation of previously published work, a review limited to studies on rats and mice. This paper makes an identical evaluation
as before, but, restricting the species being evaluated to representative studies of smoke-expose d hamsters, dogs (both by tracheostomy and by direct
inhalation), and nonhuma n primates. As was seen previously, no statistically signi cant increase in the incidence of malignant tumors of the respiratory
tract was found in any of the 3 species, even though very long exposures and high doses of smoke were used. All 5 of the species of laboratory animals
commonl y used to evaluate carcinogenic potential produce results with mainstream cigarette smoke that are at variance with the epidemiological
evidence in smokers
