Abstract
Animal models have proven to be extremely worthwhile in the investigations of cigarette smoke-induced lung disease. We have found the guinea pig to be useful, with a large number of advantages and few disadvantages when used in our experimental circumstances. Other animal models exist, however, and the investigator should select the model that is most suited to the hypothesis to be tested.
