Passage 4The Student Health Center sponsored a stop-smoking rally on the West Mall Wednesday to kic
The Student Health Center sponsored a stop-smoking rally on the West Mall Wednesday to kick off the American Cancer Societys 11th annual Great American Smokeout.
UT football players Darron Norries, Eric Metcalf, Stan Thomas, Gerard Senegal and Jeff Locke participated in the rally and agreed to give up all tobacco for 24 hours.
Former professional and UT football players Earl Campbell and Bill Bradley also pledged to give up tobacco for 24 hours.
We try to get as many people as possible involved in this, Said Danny Ingram, a spokesman for the American Cancer Society.
Lisa Kessler, a health center nutrition educator, said smokers who agree to give up cigarettes from midnight Wednesday to midnight Thursday can register for a drawing on Friday.
Prizes include free exercise classes, a free lunch and a one-year membership at a health club, Kessler said.
It gives someone trying to quit an extra incentive, she said.
From 11 a. m. to 4 p. m. Health Center volunteers will be passing out smoker survival kits, to help smokers get through the day without smoking, Kessler said.
The kits will consist of apples and sugarless candy and gum, and will be available at tables on the West Mall and on the patio next to the Jesse H. Jones Communications Center. The American Cancer Society has organized a series of off campus events to promote the smoke-out, Ingram said. More than 50 state agencies and Austin-area business have agreed to help their employees quit smoking, he said.
Mary Pearl Williams, 53rd district judge, adopted three members of the Fabulous Thunderbirds rock group at a kickoff rally Wednesday at Claudia Taylor Johnson Plaza, 601 Colorado St.
Guitarist Jimmie Vaughan, bassist Preston Hubbard and drummer Fran Christina vowed to do without cigarettes for 24 hours beginning midnight Wednesday.
The bands manager, Mark Proct, said the society asked the group to participate in the smoke-out while it was on tour last summer.
