Smokeout may bring nicotine fit epidemic
By JoLYNNE WALZ Staff Reporter
Puff, puff. Cough, cough.
If you want to quit smoking, tomorrow the American Cancer Society is sponsoring the Great American Smokeout—a day when smokers pledge to give up smoking for 24 hours.
Larry Hagman, the evil J.R. Ewing of Dallas, quit smoking several years ago and is this year's national Smokeout chairman, Douglas County Smokeout chairman Pat McCubbins said yesterday.
"I'll try to quit again this year," she said. "That's why I do this. Every year I try to quit.
This will be the fifth year of the Smokeout, McCubbin said. It has become so popular nationwide that there is a shortage of ACS pamphlets.
However, McCubbin said that she had plenty of pledge cards and that many people challenged their own suit smoking for the day, as a contest.
BUT QUITTING smoking, even for one day, can be difficult.
Many people eat to compensate for not smoking, she said.
"You gain weight for the firs,
three weeks, but it does level off. All
the withdrawal symptoms are
temporary," she said.
had plenty of pamphlets on how to quit smoking, despite the nationwide shortage.
The pamphlets actually encourage people to eat and drink to compensate for not smoking, she said.
FOOD AND DRINK give smokers something to hold while they're trying to quit. Clem said, and the pharmacist helps wash medline out of the body.
Besides eating and drinking more, people who try to stop smoking tomorrow will probably have headaches, and they'll probably notice that they're having a harder time concentrating, she said.
"But mostly they'll notice that they're not smoking." Clem said.
Late afternoon will be the worst part of the day for people who aren't smoking tomorrow, she said.
"I think that's because they're all gung-ho about not wanting to smoke in the morning, but in the afternoon things start slowing down," Clem
If a person decides to quit smoking forever after the Smokeout, the first four days will probably be theouse of the withdrawal symptoms.
According to national statistics published by the ACS, 16.5 million people tried to quit smoking during the Great American Smokeout last year, and 4.9 million made it through the day.
If you would like to sign a pledge card to quit smoking tomorrow, the Great American Smokeout, call Pat McCubbin 5 a.m. at 842-929-6981.

When Rosey Grier made up one-fourth of the Fearsom Foursome for the Los Angeles Rams football team, the 6-foot5, 300-pound defensive tackle understandably instilled fear in his opponents.

GRRIER WAS IN Lawrence to speak last night in CA and tonight for the daranatha University Christian organization. During the group's meeting last night, which will be repeated again tonight at 7:30 in the Kansas Union Ballroom, Grier sang songs, gave a prayer and taught children a play called to actor to "sensitive man."
"I spent all those years as a football player and an actor trying to figure out, 'What is it all about?' " Grier said yesterday in his Lawrence hotel room. "I was trying to find out my pur-
"My own personal life was a wreck," he said, his large frame engulfing his belly. "It's so hard to describe."
He said that he tried everything from dating different women to eating his favorite foods, but he was still "Desperately looking for an answer."
lot of it was my doing, a lot of it was my help. "
"I got remarried to her," Grier said. "We made a good decision to invite Jesus into our life.
"That was over three years ago, and I haven't been the same since."
Finally, he started going to church, he said, at the suggestion of his son and an airline stewardess. In time, his wife, whom he had divorced, went with him.
Besides his speaking engagements, Grier still keeps up with his acting and will be appearing tomorrow on a Bob Hope special, which he taped last Saturday. He is also planning on writing an autobiography, he said.
"I don't plan anything, I just go. I know why I came. I came for love. I didn't come to condemn anyone."
SINCE THAT TIME, he has been spending an average of two weekends a month speaking to groups and students, and though he is not always asked to speak about Christianity, "I get it in," he said, laughing.
