Roger Scruton is a British philosopher who was caught taking surreptitious payoffs from the tobacco industry in exchange for writing pro-smoking articles in the Wall Street Journal. Presently he serves as the external editor for OpenDemocracy.
After The Guardian's disclosure in 2002 that Scruton had 'asked Japan Tobacco for a £1,000 a month rise to an annual £66,000 to help place articles defending the right to smoke in newspapers, including the WSJ, the Financial Times, the Times, the Daily Telegraph, and the Independent,' he was dropped by both the Financial Times and Wall Street Journal.[1]
