Yes. I was on Mr. Connolly's website, ezSmoke.ie. I was looking to see what items were available and came across his vampire vape flavours. I do not know if anybody has seen those flavours but they come in an incredibly cute little bottle with a cartoon vampire on it. It is a very non-threatening vampire and the flavours include things like pear drops and strawberry milkshake. I will be perfectly honest, I thought it was a lollipop. I have a four-year-old, a seven-year-old and a nine-year-old. It is the kind of thing that is at the till, which we are also trying to control as well because it is not great to have so much sugar. Those cute little vampire cartoons appear on children's lollipops. Does Mr. Connolly thinks that is not marketing to children?
