"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it would be very interesting if the Ministry of Agriculture can pay attention to this and help the Ministry of Health. It should promote fruit farming in arid areas, because we know there are fruit trees which are drought resistant. We have the example of macadamia. When we come to the analysis of tobacco as a valueless crop, a crop that is only valuable to very few people, we can substitute another cash crop such as cotton, macadamia or cow peas for it. These crops have food value. A farmer in Western Province cannot say: Well, you have denied us the chance to grow tobacco; therefore, we will not have a source of income. They should do alternative farming. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have been told that Kenyans smoke six million sticks of cigarettes every year. Six million sticks! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know, it is tantalising for me to say this because you might be a smoker. I am not challenging you."
