It has been well reported that the nicotine and tar content of the illicit cigarettes that come in is much higher and they are a greater health hazard for the 13% who use them. Does the Revenue pass them on to the HSE? The HSE could undertake some promotion on this issue because a high number of people from eastern Europe are very heavy smokers and we will be paying for the hospital bills at the end of the day. Is there any linkage between Revenue and the HSE on this issue?
