The police and the Customs people will need the resources to police the illegal cigarettes industry. As the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Reilly, has said, producing cigarettes is like producing a death product. Let us imagine cars were made without brakes and a person had to take his chances knowing that 50% of the users in a certain amount of years were going to die for definite. We must stop this and a combination of various measures, including advertisements, increasing the prices, regulations on packaging and so on is the way to do it.
