Hi, Ciarán.

Yeah, I was.

I was.

Well, because, do you know what?

Don't tell anyone I said this here, but it's so much better than the stuff we have over in England.

So that's why I listen to RTE.

Oh, yes, absolutely.

I'm a director of public health.

So that means that if anyone gets sick in the county of Worcestershire, it's basically my fault.

So, yeah, this is something I've been following and supporting.

Yeah, so that's the main part, isn't it?

The age at which you can buy tobacco is going to go off one year every year.

But there's going to be additional powers for government to restrict smoking in public places that it's not currently restricted in.

Some outdoor areas like near schools are also restricting vaping.

And also there's going to be enforcement powers.

So retailers can be fined.

I think it's going to be about £200 if they flout the new law.

So a whole host of new measures.

No, they'll still be able to buy vapes.

I mean, in the UK, we're actually quite positive about people being able to use vaping to quit smoking.
