Custom and Excise officials apprehend a woman for allegedly selling cigarettes in Dublin's Moore Street.
The case goes to court. The judge asks the woman if she had been selling cigarettes on a certain date in Moore Street. She denies the charge.
The judge asks her if she had been shouting the word 'tobacco' on the street.
She explains: 'Judge, I saw my sister on the street and was trying to get her attention. She smokes heavily and so she has the nickname 'tobacco' and I was simply shouting her nickname."
The case was dismissed in the Dublin District Court.
