Forest is a British based smokers’ rights group. Founded in 1979, the name is an acronym for ‘The Freedom Organisation for the Right to Enjoy Smoking Tobacco.

This page is about the present-day Forest; for more on its historical reliance on tobacco funding, the influence of the industry and Forest’s aim to develop into “an aggressive and intemperate adversary” – see the TobaccoTactics page on the History of Forest, and the page on its director Simon Clark.
