I am always trying to give them up.

At the same time, however, I work closely with the Irish Heart Foundation and the Irish Cancer Society because I am of an age to know what damage they are doing and how many people they are killing. All members are acquainted with people who have died as a result of smoking. The point about customs trying to go after the people who are smuggling is well made and more resources should be put into Customs and Excise. Moreover, I had not realised the fines were so small, particularly for the first time but even for the second time.
