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.

the Fishbowl cafeteria today to
celebrate the smokeout. 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.
In 1977 Voyager II
was launched Into space,
inviting all life forms in the universe
to visit our planet.
