According to a confidential industry document, Foxley-Norris wrote to British American Tobacco in 1978 seeking a paid position running a consumers' association for smokers. At a meeting, BAT staff told him that "the industry had been giving possible through to the possible formation of a consumers' body for some time and (his) ideas were to a considerable extent in line with this thinking".[2]
Forest was set up the following year with industry funding.[1]
