Touts 70% success rate
Program snuffs smokers ’ cigs
By Diane Winocur
OtamBmmrmta
Mary, a participant in the
Oregon Smoking Control Pro
gram. had to have a cigarette with
her morning coffee
She tried substituting tea or
orange juice tor the cigarette to
alter the morning smoke and cof
fee "ritual." When that failed, her
attempts went from showering to
going for walks to exercising and
finally, to drinking her coffee
through a straw while standing
Nothing worked
Then another OSCP client
suggested that Mary set her alarm
clock later VWien her mornings
were rushed. Mary didn't have the
15 minutes with a cigarette that
she traditionally needed
Mary "kicked the habit. ' and
her success is not uncommon
About 70 percent of the
OSCP's clients won't be smoking
a year after they leave the pro
gram, says Karen McIntyre a
graduate student in clinical psy
chology and one of the program s
three counselors
In its 12th year in the Umver
sity's psychology department,
this stop-smoking program offers
smokers a success rate similar to
most professional clinics at a
substantially lower fee ($15 com
pared to Smokenders tee of more
than $400). McIntyre says
But the University program s
approach is different from the
myriad of smoking control pro
grams, she says
'There are a tot of different
kinds of smokers to the world."
she says
"Programs have tried to gear
themseives for the orally fixated
smoker, or the smoker who needs
aversive technique or needs to be
hypnotized
The OSCP program's bag of
tricks" approach educates clients
to the ways their life will change
when they become non-smokers
The program consists of ap
proximately four weeks of
preparation and planning before
"quitting day" arrives
Counselors teach skills to
control a smoking habit, such as
how to think of oneself as a non
smoker
OSCP also involves spouses
or Irving partners McIntyre says
But when both partners are
trying to quit, she says, “It can
really be good They support each
other and make resolutions
together ’
About one-third of the OSCP
clients are students, McIntyre
says Ages range from 19 to 80
"The more of a range we get
the nicer the group is because
there are so many different per
spectives ' McIntyre says
"There are people who have
smoked for 50 years and people
who have smoked for three and
both of them are having a terrible
time quitting '

merit charge, clients pay a S25
refundable deposit to help insure
continued participation McIntyre
says this follow-through obliga
tion helps develop a sense of
group cohesion as well as as
sisting department research
Research is the motive of the
two graduate students, one
professor and four volunteer un
dergraduates involved in the pro
gram Few studies exist relating a
stressful lifestyle to quitting
smoking or now home support
affects stress McIntyre says
The 40 clients expected tor
this term's program — which
begins two-hour sessions Mon
day — will organize into support
groups of not more than 16 peo
ple Groups meet one evening a
week tor six weeks at the Univer
sity psychology clinic in Straub
