The new Forest website is now live and you can visit it here.
It's a project that is still in development but I'm rather pleased with it. Visually it's a big step forward, but the big difference is that visitors can now post comments on the site in response to breaking news stories.
The aim is to make the site more much immediate and interactive than the old one, so I hope you will add your own comments in the days and weeks ahead.
We are still editing and updating copy that has been transferred from the previous site. When that work is completed we will add new information and resources.
The site will be updated regularly so I hope you will bookmark it and become a frequent visitor. We want to create a useful resource for adults who enjoy consuming tobacco as well as providing them with a platform for their views.
Politicians, broadcasters and journalists will be alerted to the new site so the more people who post the better.

PS. Although the new site is live, your browser may send you to the old site (which had the same URL). Don't ask me why. It's something to do with the Domain Name System (DNS):
DNS is a hierarchical naming system built on a distributed database for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. Most importantly, it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers associated with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide.
Alternatively you may get a message saying "No page could be found at this address". Click on the 'Back to Home' link and it should take you to the new site.
It should sort itself out within 24 hours or so. If not, let me know.
