Sunday, October 20, 2024 at 12:54 Thanks to the (anonymous) reader who pointed out that most of the links on the right-hand column of this blog weren't working.
It's been fixed now but I can explain.
Clicking on the images of the various reports took you to the old Forest website and I forgot to update them when we launched the new website last month.
If you haven't visited the new website click here. You'll find links to reports, essays, and articles on the Recommended Reading page.
A new section you might like to visit is our Videos and Podcasts page.
We'll upload more in due course but it currently includes podcasts I did with Chris Snowdon (Institute of Economic Affairs) and Benjamin Elks (TaxPayers Alliance).
Chris's podcast (The Swift Half) has since come to a premature end. The reason, according to Chris, was falling viewing/listening figures.
Sorry about that!

Off topic, but I hope of some interest...
There is evidence that tobacco smoking in the New World dates back 12,000 years. At the time of Columbus it was North America's most widely traded crop. Natives revered tobacco and showed Europeans how to enjoy, grow, and process it. The American Revolution was funded by the tobacco trade.
Before there was modern industry, advertising, or manufacturing, humans even in the world's most remote corners were enjoying tobacco's benefits.
If one hold's the modern tobacco industry "morally reprehensible," one must also condemn the indigenous peoples of the Americas who introduced Europeans to the plant.
