Smokeout starts tonight despite student apathy
By SUSAN WORTMAN Staff Reporter
The Great American Smokeout
a new American smoker.
Some people say the drive, sponsored by Coca-Cola, is a good way to remind people that smoking is unhealthy. But others say the Smokeout is a waste of time and effort.
The goal of the 24-hour Smokeout, which begins at midnight today, is to get one out of every five smokers to give up the habit for a day. The cancer society has promoted the drive for seven years.
But Erma Morgan, president of the Lawrence chapter of the society, said the Smokeout did not seem to interest, especially among students.

COLLEGE STUDENTS HAVE a difficult time relating to the problems of smoking. Dahle said, his smoking-related deaths seem remedi-
"But it is dangerous because it is an addiction," he said.
The Smokeout began as a promotion, started in 1974 by the editor of the Monticello, (Minn.) Times. Officials from the Cancer Society and the idea, and in 1976 the Great American Smokeout became a national event.
