Animal testing can be very misleading and the results can actually be irrelevant. For example, penicillin was shown to be extremely poisonous because testing done on animals.
Alternative tests, for example microdosing, have been developed for many things because people standing up for animals rights, and exclusive full dose testing is unnecessary in many cases. If people continue to take a stance against vivisection, even more will be developed.
In contrast, nicotine can also exert a sedative effect, depending on the level of the smoker's nervous system arousal and the dose of nicotine taken.

Children should have an option be taught about religions in general to help them become more tolerant, accepting, and generally knowledgable. They should not be taught creationism in lieu of evolution, however, and not in a science class but in a religions class. Teaching these things to older students, in a high school or junior high school setting, would probably be more appropriate than elementary. Students should have the freedom to choose whether or not to believe these things.
