I have a final question on tobacco yields. There are a very significant number of illegal imports. Mr. Cody is in a position to know what is brought in and how much of it is illegal. I wish nobody smoked and I completely accept there is a serious public health issue. Is there a tipping point at which it becomes counterproductive because more illegal material comes in and people avoid paying the price because of the excises on it?
