Cigarettes and avoiding duty

I wonder if anyone could help. I work for a major airline in the UK doing short haul and long haul trips. I often along with colleagues but cigarettes to resell to friends and family. I only ever carry the legal amount in my bag. Today I was told that customs and excise will be interviewing me later this week as I have avoided tax by reselling the cigarettes to friends etc.

I'm unsure if I will loose my job and honestly didn't think it was that major to sell to friends and family. I've been doing this for around 4 years.

Anyone else on here been in a similar situation or know anyone who has. Advice gratefully appreciated.
