Carson City native, Reno Rodeo competitor advocates being tobacco-free

As a country phenomenon, Garth Brooks once said, "It's bulls and blood, it's dust and mud, it's the roar of a Sunday crowd. It's the white in his knuckles, the gold in the buckle, he'll win the next go 'round. It's boots and chaps, it's cowboy hats, it's spurs and latigo, it's the ropes and the reins, and the joy and the pain and they call the thing rodeo."
