Smokers are offered motivation to quit

Sixty-eight-year-old Marietta resident Doris Walters said she’s been smoking for 50 years of her life and for the last 15, her grandchildren have been begging her to quit.

“If I try, it will be for them,” she said. “I sometimes think tomorrow will be the day or Saturday will be the day. But I haven’t done it yet.”

For Walters and other area smokers, Thursday may be the day to quit, as Selby General Hospital’s Washington County Tobacco Prevention Program sponsors a “pack exchange” as part of the Great American Smokeout.

The hospital is working with Wendy’s restaurants in Marietta and Belpre for the exchange. Those who bring in their cigarettes, lighters and smokeless tobacco between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Thursday can exchange them for a coupon for a free Wendy’s combo meal, said Stephanie Davis, director of the tobacco prevention project.

Representatives from Selby will be on hand to make the exchanges and offer information about the hospital’s free smoking cessation classes.

The classes are available throughout the year through grant funding and include free gum, lozenges and patches for those trying to quit.

Jim Davis, 52, of Reno said he has tried them all as one of the estimated 45 million Americans who smoke.

“It’s a very tough thing to do,” he said. “I really respect those who have successfully quit.”

Davis said he might stop by the Marietta Wendy’s on Thursday and make a trade.

“It’s always worth a shot,” he said. “And it’s nice to get a little something in return.”

The pack exchanges have typically drawn about a dozen local smokers in past years, when smoker “survival kits” were exchanged.

The Great American Smokeout is an annual national program that tries to get tobacco users to quit their habits for at least one day. \
