Smokers are voters too

Here's our advertisement for the The Spectator Cigar Smoker of the Year Award Dinner programme.

The event is at Boisdale of Canary Wharf on Tuesday (November 19) and on behalf of Forest I'm presenting an award for Best Cigar Terrace.

A few weeks ago word got back to me that the Spectator was reluctant for Forest to be involved because "it's not a political event".

And there was I, a reader for 36 years, thinking the Spectator was a political magazine!

Unfortunately successive governments have made smoking a political issue – a point I intend to make when I present the Best Cigar Terrace award (assuming I'm not dragged off stage first).

Anyway we decided to sneak the line 'Smokers are voters too' into the programme ad.

Do you think they'll notice?

Yes, we smoke and we vote. I said as much here. But that doesn't bother the local Labour luvvies in my city - some of whom say they need politicians to tell them how to live their lives :( http://thelincolnite.co.uk/2013/11/the-case-against-plain-packaging-for-cigarettes/
