So why don't you just comment--and bring that microphone over closer to you--why don't you tell us a little bit about the economics of tobacco, what you're trying to do, and how you believe that we can vigorously pursue this Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and protect the interests of people whom you are elected to represent. [Rod Kuegel described efforts to work with health groups to find common ground and described how Senator Ford's ``Leaf Act'' would advance agricultural and economic development in Carrollton and protect the farmers from the tobacco companies.]
