Mundt hopes a report is ready before August adjournment and doubts the committee rules. Jenkins considers a Tennessee Senate run if sentiment and chances align.

Medical researchers quit smoking citing life expectancy loss
Led by Dr. Charles Cameron the team told the American Medical Association that cigarette smoking shortens life. Cameron said three men have given up cigarettes and urged teens to avoid tobacco while parents are advised to curb their children's smoking. The study of 200,000 men aged 50 to 70 links regular smoking to higher death rates from cancer and heart disease. Tobacco shares fell sharply on the New York Stock Exchange with losses up to more than $1 a share as the Cancer Society reflected the impact.
