The point I am making is that the huge increase in the sale of tobacco products during the lockdown gives an indication of the number of cigarettes coming in from abroad when people are travelling back and forth, whether to Spain, Portugal, Greece or otherwise. Is there now a need to tighten up the regulations on the number of cigarettes people can bring in when travelling from abroad? For example, one country – perhaps Sweden - has insisted that products can only be brought in provided the warning is in the language of the country and not any other language. That is the restriction it brought in but it also reduced the number of cigarettes that can be brought in by people from abroad. Do we need to do a lot more on that issue as well?
