The Smoking Words Campaign challenged students, faculty and staff to quit smoking for a day in observance of the 30th annual Great American Smoke- out sponsored by the American Cancer Society. SmokingWords, a partner of the 1 oijiM.m.i Campaign for Tobacco-Free Living, is a cam- paign that promotes education about the health risks involv- ing smoking and tobacco use at Louisiana State University and Southern University. 'Twenty-five percentof LSU students smoke, which means 75 percent don't smoke, and we want to focus on protecting the rights of that 75 percent" said )udith Sylvester, mass commu- nication professor and Smok- ingWords coordinator. SmokingWords representa- tives handed out information about smoking and tobacco use in Free Speech Plaza They also asked students to sign a peti- tion that would ban smoking on campus if approved by the University. "We want to get students more involved in campus pol- icies and encourage other stu- dents not to smoke," Sylvester said. Sylvester said Smoking- Words plans to launch a new interactive Web site that pro- vides college students with information about the health effects of smoking and tobacco use. Scott Scribner, geogra- phy senior, said he is trying to quit after seven years of smoking cigarettes He said his inspiration for quitting is his neighbor who he thought would not be able to quit smoking. "If she can quit, I can, too," he said. Scribner, who formerly smoked more than one pack of Camel Lights each day, said he smokes one or two cigarettes each day. He said he supports the Smokeout Tobacco companies have been screwing us over for so k>ng with this affliction," he said.
