FoI requests

In March of 2012, two FoI requests showed that SFSW had budgeted nearly £.5 million of taxpayers money on lobbying government for plain packaging of tobacco, including the 'plainpacksprotect.co.uk' and a billboard advertising programme for which Bray Leino received 'Cream Award.'

TobaccoTactics.org

SFSW have contributed a, currently unknown, sum towards the founding of the TobaccoTactics.org website - dedicated to 'researching' those who are particularly vocal against the anti-tobacco tactics used by tax-payer funded organisations.
