No Magic Formula To Quit Using
Tobacco; Will Power Called Best
Bv PATRICIA Wir.r.rec
United Preii Correspondent
Washington an Do you
want to give up smoking ciga
rettes? Well, you could try munching
o mints or having a baby. You
also might try going to jail or
to the south seas. Or perhaps
"psychologizing yourself."
But the advice of doctors, psy
chiatrists and others here mostly
boils down to the hardest feat
of ail: use your will power.
Said Dr. Leroy E. Burney,
chief of the U.S. Public Health
Service, who has announced
there is increasing evidence link
ing cigarette smoking to lung
cancer:
"If you're determined to quit,
just grit your teeth and quit.
There's no panacea." Burney
smokes a pipe
No Magic Formula
Or psychiatrist Dr. Robert
Felix, director of the National
Institute of Mental Health:
"There's no magic formula. I
wish there were, I'd make a for
tune." Felix, an expert in- the field
of addiction, does have tips, re
lated below which might make
the giving-up easier. .
At the start, those polled all
strongly endorsed the following
passage from Dr. John Harvey
Kellogg's book "Tobaccoism"
published more than 30 . years
ago:
'"The confirmed smoker who
has reached the point at which
the cigar, pipe, or cigarette is

ancient European castles, cha-

Even this farewell party will
be pale compared to the lavish

San Siomeon a social ambition
for world figures from the
castle's birth in 1920 until
Hearst's death in 1951.
Tourists who visit San Simeon
will follow in the footsteps of
such guests as Winston Chur
chill and. the late George Ber
nard Shaw.
Hearst's guests arrived at this
270,000-acre cattle ranch, mid
way between Los Angeles and
San Francisco, by private
planes, trains or cars.
. Guests stayed in any of 69
bedroom suites, filled with furni

The bride thought it was her

sound asleep but awakened later
and held the intruder until po

Police said Garasci, wearing
only an undershirt, entered the
rooms of two maids but fled
when they screamed. He rushed
across a terrace, entered an open
window and popped into the
first bed he saw.
The wife told police she did

thought it was her husband.
Garasci was charged with vio

acts.

chests, four-poster bed and
marble bathroom. Although
overwhelming to the eye a
weekend in a renaissance bed
room did not appear comfortable.
Late Breakfast
In San Simeon's heyday guests
could eat breakfast up to 11
a.m. in the castle's "breakfast
room" featuring a 13th Cen
tury marble archway, 15th Cen
tury . fireplace from a French
chateau, 15th Century Spamsn
ceiling and hanging silver
lamps from an Italian castle.
You kept your toast warm at
a Spanish brazier and sat in an
armchair from the Mexican
convent where Maximilian was
held prisoner until his execu
tion. After breakfast you couli
ride the finest Arabian horses
in the. world, visit the zoo or
swim in one of two lake-sized
pools.
A bell called you to lunch
and dinner in the main dining
hall, half a block long. Half
moon shaped antique chairs sur

Ancient Cellini silver from Italy

Paper Napkins
However, as a "ranch" touch,
paper napkins always are used.
The castle was the scene of
colorful incidents. Once Mrs.
Calvin Coolidge got stuck in
one of the, two elevators. Anoth
er time a fire "started on the
ranch and wild animals jumped
into the out-door swimming pool
for safety.
A picnic on the ranch meant

ness, irritability, mental con
fusion and incapacity for work
or pleasure and to enable him
to maintain the mental poise es
sential for effectual activity will
undergo a real test of character
in any attempt to escape from
the toils of the tobacco habit."
Just Quit
Felix said that the smoking
habit cannot be compared with
drug or alcohol addiction. There
is no evidence of any physiologi
cal dependence on tobacco once
the habit is begun. But he said
they can be compared in that
"The only way to quit is to quit
all at once.".
Cutting down gradually "only
prolongs the agony." After an ab
solute break, he said, -the crav
ing for a cigarette will become
bearable after about two weeks.
Felix, and others, suggested
another habit as a substitute dur
ing the first painful period, like
gum chewing or candy nibbling.
"To give your hands something
to do when you reach for a cig
arette." Felix also suggested you
go to places where it is the "so
cial custom" not to smoke, like
the theater, church, movie, mu
seum or library. Felix smokes
a moderate one-half pack of cig
arettes a day and has "no in
tention in the world of stop
ping." Other advice:
Dr. Kenneth Chapman, asso
ciate director of the clinical
center at the National Institute
of Health and a drug addiction
specialist: Cigarette smoking "is
not addiction; it's just a habit."
But it would be a lot easier to
break the tobacco habit if the
treatment were the same as
that for a drug addict: "putting
one away in a place for some
period of about a week."
The most important step in
giving up cigarettes is "making
up your own mind" to do so.
Then, Chapman said, try it out
"when you are not under ten
sion, when you have no weighty
problems, and relax. Pamper
yourself and go ahead and nibble
candy or food. You can lose the
extra weight later." Chapman
just fell off the cigarette wagon
after a six-month abstinence and
now- smokes- a- pack a- day. -"I'll
quit again one of-these days.""
Rep. John A. Blatnik CD
Minn.), chairman of the House
Cigarette - Cancer Investigating
Subcommittee: Read Dr. Alton
Ochsner's book "'Smoking and
Cancer" which says that you
can more easily stop smoking,
"abruptly, completely and per
manently" if you investigate
your psychological reasons for
smokftig. Blatnik has cut from
two to one pack a day and plans
to "give up the things complete
ly as soon as I psychologize my
self." .
Robert T. Secrest, acting
chairman of the Federal Trade
Commission, who asked Congress
for more power to police ciga
rette advertising: He chews to
bacco and has given it up 40
times. There are so few tobacco
chewers, "I don't think anyone
in the country cares a damn if
we live or die. It's a lost art."
