Forest launches six-day ad blitz

Forest has launched a six-day ad blitz urging George Osborne to rethink the government's tobacco taxation policy.

The ‘Be Fair To Smokers’ ad is part of Forest's Axe The Escalator campaign that calls on the Chancellor to stop increasing tobacco duty above inflation.

Starting today, a series of online ads will run for six days over two weeks, enjoying total exposure on the following websites and blogs: ConservativeHome, Guido Fawkes, Labour Uncut, Labourlist, Liberal Democrat Voice, Newsbiscuit, Political Betting, Standpoint Magazine and UK Polling Report.

The ads link to a microsite that enables consumers and shopkeepers to write direct to their member of parliament.

The Axe The Escalator campaign was launched by Forest last week in response to what it claims are "unfair" and "punitive" levels of tobacco taxation.
