Study examining effects of nicotine in squirrel monkeys was criticized by Jane Goodall.

 

A letter from the American Psychological Association, the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, and the College on Problems of Drug Dependence, sent on October 5, 2017, raises concerns about the Food and Drug Administration's suspension of a research project examining the behavioral and biological effects of various doses of nicotine in adolescent and adult squirrel monkeys.  A long-term aim of the research is to shed light on the role of nicotine reduction in reducing tobacco addiction in humans.
