The sites below will be updated as information and time allow :-
-
The Smoking Lobby Up to date discussion forum. "Smokinglobby.com is an online smoker's rights forum for both cigarette smokers and non-smokers alike to discuss fundamental individual freedoms and the right to choose whether or not to smoke."
Article on site complains, as I have done, about the lack of co-ordination of smokers freedom/rights organisations to provide a focussed force for changing the public's perception of smokers and health risks (an essential precursor to fighting/amending the bans) and pressurising for amendment of smoking bans.
As ever, united we stand - divided we fall......
The antis must be laughing all the way to their (empty) smoke-free pubs/clubs!

Forest - Smokers Rights Group.
Site promoting equal rights for smokers. The aim is to fight the growing intolerance of some sectors of society towards smokers and the increasing efforts to prohibit smoking, or to make it illegal."Forest" is the largest and most longstanding player in supporting smokers rights. It is partly financed by the tobacco companies, but insists it does not allow their interference.
It has two additional linked sites:
