Smokeout asks, ‘Can you quit for a day?’ UIW uy Of lh*» Emerald The eighth annual Great American Smokeout begins to day, and an estimated 51 million intrepid smokers around the nation are expected to marshal their willpower and quit smoking cigarettes for 24 hours. . .or more. The smokeout, sponsored primarily by the American Cancer Society, is a good natured effort to remind smokers of what a full day of clean air feels like, and a day for the ACS to warn the public of the potential dangers of cigarette smoking. During last year’s Great American Smokeout. nearly 36 percent of American smokers at tempted to give up cigarettes for the day, according to the ACS. A follow-up survey conducted by the Gallup organization in dicated that more than 8 percent of those who participated were successful in quitting for the iull 24 hours, and 4 percent quit for one to 11 days. Not a particularly staggering success rate perhaps, but then the ACS has always meant the smokeout to be a day of celebra tion and fun. This year, as in previous years, the ACS distributed “smokeout kits” to campuses, corporations and various organizations with fun promotional suggestions, such as parties, parades, marathons, contests and mass balloon releases. In Eugene, Prince Puckler's ice cream stores are encourag ing smokers to quit today, offer ing one free ice cream cone to anyone who turns in a full pack of cigarettes and a half-priced cone for those who turn in a half pack of cigarettes. Prince Puckler’s stores are located at 861 Willamette St. and 686 E. 13th Ave. The Student Health Center is organizing a Go-Cold-Turkey raffle at the EMU Lobby outside KINKO’S 860 E. 13th • 344-7894 Coffee Bean of the Month Mocha Java *5.00 per pound California School of Professional Psychology Knihti n Frisso • I.osAm.ihs Sts Dinio the best t ruining fur your carver from the leader in professional psychology training Clinical Ph.D. Program Organizational Ph.D. Program Industrial/Organizational Ph.D. Program sfxxialized clinical training offered in • Health Psychology • Otild, Family & Adult Intervention • Ihird World Affairs • Neuropsychology & Cultural Diversity .

A basketball hoop will be set up for smokers to slam dunk their cigarette packs, after which they will receive a raffle ticket. The drawing for the raffle is at 3:30 p.m. and the prize is, ap propriately enough, a frozen turkey. Bob Petit, the medical ad ministrator for the Student Health Center, will perform the opening slam dunk at 9:30 a.m. Petit, who smokes about two packs of cigarettes a day, has pledged to refrain from smoking for at least a day. For those who plan to par ticipate in the smokeout, here are some tips from the ACS on how to alleviate withdrawal symptoms: •Throw out all cigarettes by breaking them in half and wet ting them down, or bring them to Prince Puckler’s if you have a penchant for ice cream. Hide all ashtrays, matches, and lighters in the home, office or car. •Engage in plenty of exercise to relieve tension. •Get a good supply of low calorie cigarette substitutes, such as sugarless gum. pum pkin or sunflower seeds, apple slices, carrot sticks or celery. •Avoid sugar-laden or spicy foods, coffee, soft drinks with caffeine and alcohol, as these items can trigger a desire for cigarettes. •Keep your hands and mind busy. Try working ,on a crossword puzzle, knitting or fixing something around the house. •Scramble up your day and change habits connected with smoking, such as eating lunch in a new place if you normally have a cigarette after a meal. Smokers are more successful in kicking the habit if they have support from friends and relatives, which is why the ACS encourages non-smokers to “adopt” a smokeout quitter and help him or her get through the day.
