We demonstrate the existence of a chiral magnetic effect in an electron‐positron magnetized gas in QED. A vector current is induced by the electric field related to the pseudo‐vector longitudinal Debye massive photon mode propagating along the external magnetic field B and separating opposite charges of the same helicity. A equation associated to the nonconservation of the axial current is obtained in a medium of massive and magnetized charged fermions. The effect is interesting in connection to the QCD chiral magnetic case reported in current literature. (© 2015 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
